Industrialists find the solution in solar power plants to accelerate the green transformation and increase their competitiveness.
“Industrialists have turned their faces to the sun,” said Çukurova Heating Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, explaining that the energy transformation has also brought about a transformation in heating systems, which account for 40% to 60% of factories’ energy consumption. Thanks to this transformation, the electric heater market has grown by 35% in the last three years.
According to TEİAŞ data, Turkey’s installed solar power capacity reached 14,993 MW in June. According to Turkey’s National Energy Plan, Turkey’s installed solar power capacity is projected to reach 52,900 MW by 2035. Solar energy investments, which are on the agenda of exporting industrialists, particularly due to the green transition and the EU’s border carbon regulation, are also critical for reducing electricity costs and accessing financing.
New regulations support industrialists’ solar power plant investments
New regulations permitting additional installations of up to twice the installed capacity of solar power plants are also supporting industrial investments in this area. This regulation allows industrialists to install unlicensed plants with capacities of 500 megawatts or more. The value-added tax (VAT) exemption for materials used in solar power plant installations also makes solar power plant investments attractive.
“Industrialists turned their faces to the sun”
“Due to rising energy prices, green transformation, and the EU’s border carbon regulation, industrialists have turned to the sun,” said Çukurova Heating Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, explaining that the energy transformation has also brought about the transformation of heating systems, which account for 40 to 60 percent of factories’ energy consumption.
The electric heater market has grown by 35 percent in the last 3 years.
To maximize the benefits of solar power plant investments, industrialists utilize surplus energy by upgrading existing systems at their factories with environmentally friendly, electrically powered technologies. Heating systems, which account for a significant portion of factories’ energy consumption, are also among the areas considered for renovation following solar power plant investments. To utilize the electricity provided by solar power plants, industrialists are turning to electric heaters, which offer significantly more advantages than traditional systems in terms of operating principles. This has contributed to the 35% growth of the electric heater market in the last three years.
Offers free exploration, project planning, installation and commissioning services
As Çukurova Isı, we offer free survey, project planning, installation and commissioning services to industrialists in this transition period, all from a single source. We offer turnkey solutions. In short, we offer both high-tech electric heaters and “We support industrialists with the services we offer, leveraging our robust engineering infrastructure. This requires significant engineering effort. If you don’t accurately determine the heater’s location, capacity, and features, it won’t be possible to achieve comfort and savings,” she said.
In his speech, Osman Ünlü also drew attention to the hardware features that electric heaters should have:
“At Çukurova Isı, we maximize heating efficiency while minimizing energy consumption with our world-class electric heating technologies’ unique reflector design and custom casing manufacturing. The special reflector in our Goldsun electric heaters ensures that all the light emitted from the bulb is reflected back onto objects, increasing heating efficiency by up to 28 percent.”
40 percent more efficient
When it comes to efficiency in electric heaters, the first thing to consider is the halogen lamp. A heater with a halogen lamp is 40 percent more efficient than standard resistance electric devices. At Çukurova Isı, we achieve 40 percent more heating efficiency with the high-intensity halogen bulb in our Goldsun electric heaters. said.
