IBC built the 200kW ground-mounted array in Konya – Turkey’s seventh-largest city, and located in the sun-drenched central Anatolian region – for the local power utility Medas.
The German system-integrator completed the project in less than two months using SMA inverters and its own in-house modules, despite the 50MW supply deal it inked last month with Suntech.
While the Konya installation is small, generating enough electricity to cover the needs of less than 200 average Turkish households, it represents a critical step for a country that only has about 5MW of installed PV capacity – all of it off-grid.
