Türkiye Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2025÷2034 - Single User

This market report offers an incisive and reliable long-term overview of the photovoltaic sector of the country for the next long-term period, 2025 ÷ 2034. Türkiye has the sixth-largest electricity market in Europe and one of the fastest-growing in the world. Given cuts in FIT’s announced in Germany, Spain, France, UK, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Italy after 2012, Türkiye represents an exciting investment environment in South-East Europe with excellent solar irradiation.

Cumulative installed solar PV capacity in MW in the country increased more than 20-fold from 2015 to 2024 despite political uncertainty. The Turkish market has excellent chances to exceed 30 GW cumulative installed capacity in the next 5 years.

The report provides a complete picture of the market situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. You will find more than 120 pages of valuable information in this unique in-depth analysis of the Turkish photovoltaic market and will receive an overview of how the military conflict in Ukraine and the European Union's efforts to achieve a significant reduction of Russian gas and other energy commodities import will impact it. With comprehensive market data, this report brings clear and concise insights, to help investors in their decision-making process. As 2024 was a challenging year for the photovoltaic industry, the time for making the right decisions during 2025 and the next years is limited.
