Phoenix Solar AG and its Turkish partner Asunim Yenilenebilir Enerji Teknolojileri İnş. Müh. San. Tic. Ltd. Şti., a member of the Asunim group ("Asunim Turkey") have now connected to the grid the 9.1 MWp Solentegre photovoltaic power plant on behalf of their customer, Akfen Renewable Energies. The system located in Elazığ in Eastern Turkey received full ministry acceptance.
Construction time of four months
Despite the difficult terrain conditions the project was executed after a construction time of only four months. The project was implemented in partnership with the European Development Bank (EBRD). Solentegre also is the first governmentally licensed project to be built in Turkey which included the permission to build it as one large complex instead of as an array of single 1-MW-systems. Accordingly, the system is now the largest solar photovoltaic power plant in Turkey.
Strategic partner Asunim
"This renewed successful cooperation with our strategic partners at Asunim will strengthen our joint access to the Turkish market. The experience in planning and building licensed photovoltaic systems in accordance with Turkish law adds to our reputation to design and deliver high quality photovoltaic power plants on time and on budget and is generating additional business opportunities", added Klaus Friedl, Vice President Sales Middle East at Phoenix Solar AG.
