Power irrigation, greenhouses and farm buildings with agrivoltaic solar systems across Turkey's agricultural heartland.
Turkey is one of Europe's largest agricultural producers, with extensive greenhouse and field cultivation in Antalya, Adana, Mersin, İzmir and the Aegean coast. The energy costs of irrigation pumps, greenhouse heating/cooling and cold storage represent a massive burden on Turkish farmers — often 30–50% of total operating costs.
Agricultural solar (agrivoltaics) allows farmers to generate clean electricity directly from their land and farming structures, powering their operations at near-zero variable cost. Our solar irrigation systems have been adopted by hundreds of Turkish farms from the Mediterranean to Central Anatolia.

We'll visit your farm, audit your energy costs and design the optimal solar solution for your agricultural operation.
Irrigation and greenhouse climate control are among the largest cost items facing Turkish farmers. Across Turkey's greenhouse, orchard and cut-flower regions, growers pay tens of thousands of lira every month in electricity for irrigation pumps, greenhouse heating and cold storage. An agricultural solar system removes most of these costs and, in the process, increases the value of the farmland itself.
There are two core configurations for agricultural pumping systems:
Turkey's Mediterranean provinces host more than thirty percent of the country's total greenhouse production, with districts such as Kemer, Kumluca, Finike and Serik forming the region's most intensive covered-cultivation areas. Here, greenhouse operators face heavy energy demand in winter for heating and lighting and again in summer for irrigation. When this year-round, two-season load meets a climate that produces solar power consistently throughout the year, agricultural PV becomes an exceptionally compelling investment.
An agrivoltaic (dual-use farm-and-solar) system mounts panels at a set height above the field, so that energy is generated while crops below still receive enough sunlight to grow. Studies show that shade-tolerant crops — lettuce, spinach, strawberries and certain fruit saplings — can cut water consumption by around thirty percent under agrivoltaic arrays, a meaningful operational advantage during periods of water scarcity. We can prepare an agrivoltaic feasibility analysis tailored to your land and crop type.
In certain funding windows, agricultural solar investments may qualify for grant financing under the IPARD programme and national rural-development schemes. These grants typically provide non-repayable support of between thirty and fifty percent of the eligible investment amount. Because grant periods and eligibility conditions change over time, our advisors track the current support programmes and keep you informed.
