Solar Panels for Turkey
YEKA + Agricultural Self-Consumption (2026)

IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 required (we provide). EPDK (Energy Market Regulatory Authority) licensing for grid-connected installations. TSE (Türk Standartları Enstitüsü) compliance for retail products. For YEKA (Renewable Energy Resource Area) tender projects: full bankability + TSE approval. For unlicensed generation under 5 MW: simpler process. JUSTSOLAR provides full cert bundle.

Solar modules: 0-5% import duty (depends on HS classification). VAT (KDV): 18-20%. Additional safeguard measure for some solar products (~14-25%) — check current status with Turkish customs broker. Some fluctuation during TRY volatility. Agricultural self-consumption projects sometimes get reduced VAT. USD invoicing critical due to TRY FX risk.

YEKA = Yenilenebilir Enerji Kaynak Alanları (Renewable Energy Resource Areas). Government-designated zones for utility-scale renewable tenders. Winners get land lease + connection + tariff for 25 years. Strong tariff floor in USD ($/MWh). JUSTSOLAR can supply YEKA winners with bankable documentation (Tier-1 wrap available if strict BNEF required). Ask Frank for fit assessment.

High electricity tariffs + TRY FX volatility + agricultural irrigation needs. Farmers installing 50-500 kWp on farmland (alongside irrigation pumping) save 60-80% on energy costs. Government supports with simplified licensing. Southern Anatolia (Antalya, Konya, Adana) has highest yield + biggest market. JUSTSOLAR 600W TOPCon dominant for 100-500 kWp agricultural installations.

Turkey has TRY volatility — elevated FX risk for exporters. Established Turkish clients: 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy possible. New clients: 30% + 70% before shipment. L/C accepted from Türkiye İş Bankası, Garanti BBVA, Akbank, Yapı Kredi, Ziraat Bankası for 5+ container orders. USD only (TRY not international).

Yes for some flows. Turkish distributors serve Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, and parts of Iran via overland routes. CIS country buyers sometimes prefer to procure via Turkey for proximity + USD banking. Ask Frank about multi-country distribution structures.
