Although Turkey’s solar energy potential surpasses that of leading European countries such as Germany, Spain, and the Czech Republic, where solar investments are well established, its investment levels remain significantly lower. This is primarily due to the fact that relevant regulations have only been enacted relatively recently. The adjacent chart compares the sunshine hours of Turkey with those of leading EU countries in solar energy investments.
WHY SOLAR ENERGY?
Solar energy is everywhere. You may not be able to dig a coal mine or drill an oil well in your backyard, but you can harness nature’s greatest power source with solar panels. Every hour, the sun sends enough energy to Earth to meet global energy demands for an entire year. It is the world’s inexhaustible energy resource.
