Turkey Solar Import FAQ
What certifications are needed for solar panels in Turkey?▼
IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 required (we provide). EPDK (Energy Market Regulatory Authority) licensing for grid-connected installations. TSE (Türk Standartları Enstitüsü) compliance for retail products. For YEKA (Renewable Energy Resource Area) tender projects: full bankability + TSE approval. For unlicensed generation under 5 MW: simpler process. JUSTSOLAR provides full cert bundle.
What's the import cost structure for Turkey?▼
Solar modules: 0-5% import duty (depends on HS classification). VAT (KDV): 18-20%. Additional safeguard measure for some solar products (~14-25%) — check current status with Turkish customs broker. Some fluctuation during TRY volatility. Agricultural self-consumption projects sometimes get reduced VAT. USD invoicing critical due to TRY FX risk.
What's the YEKA tender program?▼
YEKA = Yenilenebilir Enerji Kaynak Alanları (Renewable Energy Resource Areas). Government-designated zones for utility-scale renewable tenders. Winners get land lease + connection + tariff for 25 years. Strong tariff floor in USD ($/MWh). JUSTSOLAR can supply YEKA winners with bankable documentation (Tier-1 wrap available if strict BNEF required). Request a fit assessment.
Why is agricultural self-consumption booming in Turkey?▼
High electricity tariffs + TRY FX volatility + agricultural irrigation needs. Farmers installing 50-500 kWp on farmland (alongside irrigation pumping) save 60-80% on energy costs. Government supports with simplified licensing. Southern Anatolia (Antalya, Konya, Adana) has highest yield + biggest market. JUSTSOLAR 600W TOPCon dominant for 100-500 kWp agricultural installations.
What payment terms for Turkish buyers?▼
Payment terms are confirmed in the formal PI. For new Turkish buyers and most first orders, JUSTSOLAR uses 100% T/T before shipment. Any exception requires written approval from Frank and will be stated in the PI. USD only (TRY not international).
Is Turkey a hub for re-export to Central Asia?▼
Yes for some flows. Turkish distributors serve Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, and parts of Iran via overland routes. CIS country buyers sometimes prefer to procure via Turkey for proximity + USD banking. Contact us about multi-country distribution structures.
