SPPs of Kütahya from CW Enerji

CW Enerji, operating in Antalya Organised Industrial Zone, has completed the provisional acceptance of BSN 4 Ökden Marketplace Solar Power Plant (SPP) with a total installed capacity of 3.7 megawatts in Tavşanlı district of Kütahya province.

CW Enerji completed the installation of a land-type solar power plant with a power of 3,757 kWp (Kilowatt-Peak) in Tavşanlı district of Kütahya province in accordance with the Unlicensed Electricity Generation Regulation in the Electricity Market No. 28783 dated 02.10.2013. 13,662 CWT 275-60P solar panels and 75 HUAWEI SUN2000-36KTL inverters were used in the SPP project with a power of 3,757 kWp. This SPP project, in whichCWEnerji, as the contractor company, carried out panel supply, engineering and EPC (implementation), was completed in 47 days. The provisional acceptance of the project was received on 16 October 2018 and it has been made ready for operation.

The completed project, with a capacity of 3,757 kWp, will be able to meet the electricity of an average of 3,237 households per year with renewable energy and will support the reduction of 4303 tonnes of CO2, 12.9 tonnes of SO2 and 4.81 tonnes of NOx gas emissions per year. The 3,757 kWp solar power plant is planned to generate an average of 15,954 kWp of electricity per day and 5,823,035 kWp per year.

Tarık Sarvan, Chairman of the Board of Directors ofCW Enerji, stated that they are proud to bring the city of Kütahya together with the environmentally friendly, clean energy source solar energy and said:

‘Previously, we had installed a solar power plant with an installed power of 1.1 megawatts on the roof of a factory in Tavşanlı district of Kütahya and delivered the turnkey. Our solar power plant projects, which we have installed on lands, industrial roofs and house roofs all over our country, continue. We are making serious investment moves in the solar energy sector in order to use the solar energy potential of our country more efficiently. We want to utilise our barren lands, where no grass grows and which have been reported to be unsuitable for agriculture, with solar fields. We want to install self-consumption model solar power plants on the roofs of factories, industrial energy consumers, cold storages, private schools, hospitals, public institutions, private enterprises, petrol stations and greenhouses. We want the roofs of detached houses to be filled with solar energy panels. We want to get our energy from the sun, a free, environmentally friendly, clean energy source, and contribute to the national economy.

The solar PV global electricity system based on 100 per cent renewable energy can be applied all year round and at any time thanks to batteries and is more cost-effective than the current system based on fossil fuels and nuclear energy. For this reason, while the use of solar power plants in energy production was a matter of preference until 5-6 years ago, it has now become a necessity. Now, not only in Türkiye, all developed and developing countries in the world have to switch to solar energy in electricity generation. In co-operation with the Chambers of Electricity, Chambers of Construction, the houses to be built from now on should be built with only one slope, ‘south’ slope. It would be much more logical to install a system where both solar panels and day heat will be placed on that southern slope. In this way, the use of solar energy can be increased.’
