Textile PV plant with over 70% self-consumption

The Turkish subsidiary of IBC Solar has commissioned a turn-key solar energy project with a total capacity of 1.16 MW in Merkez near the Bulgarian border. The ground-mounted plant has already been handed over to Edirne Giyim Sanayi, a leading textile company in Turkey. The PV plant was built for the company's own electricity consumption and can cover 70 per cent of the energy demand.

Self-consumption on the rise also in Turkey

With the completion and recent handover of the PV plant IBC SOLAR Turkey finished another large-scale PV project, which is used for the commercial direct-consumption of solar energy. Regarding increasing prices for electricity, the investment in PV power plants with a self-consumption model becomes more and more attractive amongst Turkish companies.

The solar energy covers about 70 per cent of the company’s total energy demand. (HCN)
