Solar Energy in Antalya: Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing. The initial consultation and the on-site survey are free and carry no obligation. After the visit you receive a written proposal with a panel layout, yield simulation, equipment list and itemised price, which you are welcome to compare with other offers before deciding.

Prices for panels, inverters and batteries, as well as exchange rates, change frequently, and every site has different structural, cabling and connection needs. A published list would either be out of date or misleading. An itemised quote after the survey reflects your actual property and today's component prices.

A well-sized grid-connected system can offset most of a typical household's annual consumption, and hybrid systems with batteries push self-consumption higher still. Fixed charges and taxes on the bill remain, and the exact saving depends on your tariff, usage pattern and the netting rules that apply to your connection.

In most cases it makes a property more attractive. Buyers in Antalya, particularly international buyers, increasingly value low running costs and energy independence. The system can be transferred with the property, and the monitoring history gives buyers verifiable evidence of its performance.

Some banks in Turkey offer loans for solar and energy-efficiency projects, and conditions change regularly. For many homes and businesses the monthly repayment is comparable to the electricity cost it replaces. We can provide the technical documents your bank needs, but we do not arrange loans ourselves.

Small and medium systems linked to a consumption point fall under the Regulation on Unlicensed Electricity Generation, supervised by EPDK. The application goes to the regional distribution company (EDAŞ), and the installation is inspected and accepted before the meter is changed and netting begins. Rules are updated from time to time, so we check the current version for every project.

Typically your title deed, passport, Turkish tax number, an electricity subscription in your name and a recent bill. For apartments and gated complexes, approval from the building management or owners' association is usually required as well. We send you a precise checklist after the survey.

For most detached homes, rooftop panels do not require a separate building permit, but the grid application and acceptance process still apply. Shared buildings need owners' approval, and protected or listed areas can have extra conditions. Ground-mount plants are subject to zoning and land-use rules, which we review during feasibility.

For residential and small commercial systems, applications are commonly completed within one to two months, while larger installations can take several months depending on grid capacity and documentation. Off-grid systems do not need a grid application at all. We give you a realistic timeline in your proposal.

The system can be transferred with the property, and the new owner takes over the subscription and connection arrangements through the distribution company. Alternatively, panels and inverters can be dismantled and reinstalled at a new address. We can help with the paperwork in either case.

We use Tier-1 monocrystalline panels from financially strong manufacturers and proven string, hybrid or off-grid inverters. The exact models depend on your roof, budget and whether storage is planned. Your proposal lists every component, including datasheets and warranty terms, so you know exactly what you are buying.

Lithium iron phosphate chemistry is thermally stable, offers thousands of charge cycles and allows deep discharge without rapid wear. That makes it the safest and most durable choice for homes, hotels and off-grid sites in a warm climate like Antalya's, where heat shortens the life of older battery types.

It depends on what you want it to do. Covering evening consumption needs a different size from backing up a whole villa for a day or running off-grid. We analyse your load profile, including air conditioning and pool pumps, and model several battery sizes so you can see the trade-off between cost and independence.

Panels lose a little efficiency as their temperature rises, which is why we leave ventilation gaps under rooftop arrays and specify modules with good temperature coefficients. Even so, Antalya's long, bright summer days produce far more energy than cooler, cloudier climates, and the yield simulation already accounts for heat losses.

Yes. A wallbox can be connected to a grid-tied or hybrid system and set to prioritise surplus solar power. With a battery, part of the daytime surplus can also be stored for evening charging. We size the system with your expected annual mileage in mind.

Most residential rooftop systems are installed in one to three working days, with hybrid systems sometimes needing an extra day for battery and backup wiring. Commercial and ground-mount projects are scheduled in phases. The overall timeline also includes design, procurement and the grid application, which we plan before work begins.

No. We use mounting systems matched to each roof type: hooks that sit beneath tiles, clamps for standing-seam metal and ballasted frames for flat roofs where penetrations are not wanted. Every fixing point is sealed, and roof structure and wind loads are checked during the survey.

In Antalya, dust, pollen and occasional Saharan dust can reduce output, so we usually recommend cleaning once or twice a year, more often near construction sites, roads or farmland. Monitoring data shows when performance drops and cleaning is worthwhile. We offer cleaning and inspection visits as a service.

Every system includes a monitoring app that shows live generation, consumption, battery status and historical yield. We can also monitor commercial systems remotely and receive alerts when a string or inverter underperforms, so faults are detected and fixed quickly rather than discovered on the next bill.

Our five-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself: mounting, cabling, connections and the integrity of roof penetrations. Panels, inverters and batteries are covered separately by their manufacturers, and we handle warranty claims with the manufacturer on your behalf.
