JinkoSolar has announced that it will supply 500 KW of solar PV modules for one of the largest rooftop projects in Turkey.
The project was built on rooftops covering the total area of approximately 4,000m2. It is located in the Izmir Ataturk Organized Industrial Zone.
Financing for the project is organized by Development Agency of Izmir and is managed by the industrial zone. It is expected to produce sufficient energy to power around 290 homes, saving nearly 400 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
It is a privilege to join one of the largest rooftop projects in Turkey. JinkoSolar has always been committed to promoting solar power as an essential part of the region’s energy mix, which will continue to actively pursue new opportunities in this emerging market, commented, Frank Niendorf, sales director, Jinko Solar, Europe.
Few months ago, JinkoSolar has signed project investment agreements with Hengfeng County government in Jiangxi Province for the development of 100 MW PV projects.
Jinko Power will hold the responsibilities like ownership, investment management, EPC and operations and maintenance.
In Turkey, the government has set a target for achieving around 3 gigawatts by 2023.
Turkey enacted its second Renewable Energy Law, concerning the use of Renewable Energy Resources for the Generation of Electrical Energy, in 2010.
Solar energy sources are covered by this law, according to which renewable energy resources certificate (RER Certificate) will entitle such facilities to benefit from the incentives provided by the Law.
