Turkey opens first integrated solar panel factory | Money Talks

Turkey has opened its first integrated solar panel manufacturing facility in the capital Ankara, as part of a greater scheme to switch to local and renewable energy. A $400 million dollar investment, the Kalyon Solar Technology Centre will produce panels with a capacity of 500 megawatts per year for Turkey's biggest solar power plant in central Anatolia. The manufacturing facility is set to offer 1,400 jobs and save the country $100 million worth of imports a year. Turkey aims to produce 66% of its electricity from domestic resources and become a leading nation in renewable energy. #SolarPanels #Turkey #Manufacturing
