Taking advantage of this potential will decrease the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the solar market in Turkey has grown exponentially over the last few years, with installed solar capacity growing from 40 megawatts (MW) in 2014 to about 3,421 MW at the end of 2017. The first-order assessment of the rooftop solar photovoltaic (RSPV) market potential has been carried out at the request of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR) and its Directorate General for Renewable Energy (DGRE) with financial and technical support from the World Bank and energy sector management assistance program (ESMAP). The market assessment included four main consumer sectors: (i) residential buildings including single-family and multifamily apartment buildings (MABs); (ii) commercial buildings; (iii) industrial facilities; and (iv) government buildings. The assessment included a number of components, including: (a) a review of existing solar-related policies and regulations; (b) an assessment of solar radiation resources; (c) estimates of the usable rooftop areas; and (d) a market survey of key stakeholders. The report presents a roadmap for the development of the RSPV market in Turkey.  Réduire
