One of Turkey’s leading solar panel manufacturers, HT Solar Energy, has introduced its new product, flexible solar panels, for the first time in Eskişehir. HT Solar Deputy General Manager Emre Kulaç stated, “With our innovative products developed to meet different customer needs, we aim to further strengthen our position in the industry”
Operating since 2016 to contribute to a cleaner future based on renewable energy, HT Solar has launched the first installation project of its mass-produced flexible solar panels in Eskişehir. Holding the title of the first company in Turkey to mass-produce flexible solar panels, HT Solar's project consists of 30 flexible solar panels, each with a capacity of 450W. Installed on a 120 m² roof, these panels generate an average of 15,000 kWh of green energy annually, resulting in approximately 65,000 TL in savings per year.
HT Solar Deputy General Manager Emre Kulaç, speaking about the project, stated, "The wide range of applications of our flexible panels, developed to meet different customer expectations, plays a significant role in making solar energy more accessible." He continued:
"At HT Solar, we are building Turkey’s future based on clean energy with our next-generation solar panels. We take great pride in the fact that our panels currently contribute to approximately 15% of Turkey’s installed solar energy capacity. One of our latest products, flexible solar panels, provides the perfect solution for customers looking to harness solar energy in areas such as structurally weak roofs, membrane roofs, bungalows, caravans, boats, yachts, buses, and cars. Together with our partner company, Fellow Enerji, we launched mass production of these flexible panels in Turkey for the first time in April. We are committed to expanding their use further. The project we implemented in Eskişehir in collaboration with TR Mühendislik marks a great start, and I believe many more will follow soon."
İsmail Temel, founder of TR Mühendislik, the company responsible for installing the flexible solar panels in this project, stated:
“Our customer had been requesting flexible panels from us for over a year, but we were unable to source flexible panels with the required power output from Turkey. With HT Solar launching mass production of high-power flexible panels in Turkey, we were finally able to fully meet our customer's needs. At TR Mühendislik, our priority is to work with manufacturers that produce at the highest quality standards. By choosing HT Solar, whose production exceeds even our own standards, we are delighted to provide the best service to our customer.”
Weighing approximately 6.5 kilograms, flexible solar panels are around 80% lighter than standard solar panels. Thanks to their easy and fast installation using a special adhesive—without the need for drilling or screwing onto various surfaces—these panels also help reduce high installation costs.
HT Solar produces flexible panels with Anti-PID technology, which protects against potential-induced degradation under high voltage and humid conditions. Additionally, the company offers its customers a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year power output guarantee.
