Even taking into account the slow nature of governmental support, Turkey profiles itself as one of Europe’s most promising emerging markets, one that simply cannot be neglected. There are, as in most cases, some obstacles to be overcome in Turkey. Short term problems include the current absence of a FIT and secondary legislation for grid-connection, an information gap and weak human resource base. Over the long-term, the country will struggle with the absence of a stable policy overseeing the sector and the lack of consistent rules and regulations for steady, sustainable growth.
Fortunately, there are many factors that, despite these difficulties, make Turkey a highly promising market. Turkey is a large country with a population that’s about the size of Germany and a population growth that is unrivalled in Europe. The country has one of the highest economic growth rates, the highest long-range energy demand, a strong industrial base and, not unimportantly, very good solar irradiation. Due to a hugely problematic and unstable energy supply, with unreliable sources and fluctuating prices, there is also a widespread desire for autonomy from the grid among Turkey’s population.
Furthermore, the prospect of EU-membership, combined with close relationships with Middle Eastern and Asian markets, successful business examples in different sectors (including energy), and probable grid parity within two to three years make it a PV market with large potential. The initial boom is expected to be seen in solar parks. Cleanglobe’s analysts expect medium size systems to become feasible shortly, and show good growth if the initial grid connection problems are overcome. The southern sunbelt provides plenty of opportunity for thin-film technologies, while rooftop applications in the northern part of Turkey will provide possibilities for crystalline applications.
All in all, we can conclude that Turkey is one of Europe’s most promising emerging markets, providing business and investment opportunities that can and should not be ignored. "Dr. Baha Kuban"
