Turnkey rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV installation in Antalya, with site survey, feasibility and engineering for a region offering around 3,011 sunshine hours per year.
Antalya is one of Türkiye's strongest solar regions, with approximately 3,011 sunshine hours and 1,646 kWh/m² of annual irradiation. A correctly designed system can therefore produce materially more than the same installation in a less sunny northern location. Turuncu Solar provides turnkey survey, feasibility, engineering and installation services throughout Antalya.
Why does solar make sense in Antalya?
- High solar resource: roughly 3,000 sunshine hours per year, above Türkiye's average.
- Long production season: spring and summer offer long daily generation periods.
- Tourism and agriculture loads: hotels, cold stores, greenhouses and irrigation systems consume heavily during daylight, when solar production is also high.
Indicative Antalya solar PV costs in 2026
Cost depends on system capacity, roof type, electrical infrastructure and equipment quality. As broad market indications, a turnkey residential system of about 10 kW may fall in the USD 10,000–15,000 range, while larger commercial or industrial sandwich-roof systems may be around USD 400–500 per kW. These are not quotations; the final figure requires a site survey and feasibility study.
How long is the payback period?
For businesses with high daytime self-consumption, a typical Antalya payback estimate is around three to four years. Small residential projects may extend to six or seven years because engineering and application costs represent a larger share of the investment. Actual results depend on consumption, tariff, roof orientation, shading, losses and financing.
Installation process
- Free site survey covering orientation, slope, shading and structural suitability.
- Feasibility and sizing based on bills and the consumption profile.
- Unlicensed-generation connection application and project approval with the relevant distribution company.
- Installation of modules, inverter, switchgear, cabling and protections.
- Commissioning, bidirectional metering and grid connection.
The complete process often takes about three to four months; physical installation normally takes only a few days, while approval stages determine most of the schedule.
Permits
Self-consumption rooftop systems within the applicable unlicensed-generation limits do not require a generation licence, but connection and project approvals are still required. Condominium projects require the necessary owners' consent. Requirements must always be confirmed for the specific property and current regulations.
Frequently asked questions
From survey to commissioning, allow roughly three to four months including administrative approvals.
In Antalya, a well-oriented and unshaded 10 kW system may produce roughly 16,000–18,000 kWh per year. A project-specific simulation is required for a dependable forecast.
