Ground-Mount Solar Systems in Antalya

Large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic arrays for fields, industrial plots and commercial land across the Antalya region.

Introduction to Ground-Mount Solar

Ground-mount solar systems are installed directly on land rather than on buildings. They offer greater flexibility in terms of panel orientation, tilt angle and system size — making them ideal for investors, large businesses and landowners with suitable plots. In the Antalya region, where land is available at competitive prices outside the urban core, ground-mount projects deliver some of the best cost-per-kWh figures in Turkey.

We design and build systems from 20 kWp all the way to multi-megawatt utility-scale plants. We handle the full EPC cycle: feasibility, design, permitting, construction, commissioning and O&M.

How It Works

Steel piles are driven into the ground to support aluminium mounting structures. Panels are attached and wired in strings to central or distributed inverters. A step-up transformer and grid connection box link the plant to the local TEDAŞ substation. The entire system is monitored remotely via SCADA.

Advantages

  • Optimal tilt angle (≈30°) for maximum Mediterranean yield — up to 15% more generation than rooftop
  • Single-axis trackers available for an additional 20–25% yield gain
  • No structural constraints — scale freely
  • Eligible for YEKDEM feed-in tariff (large systems)
  • Excellent investment vehicle — predictable long-term returns
  • Can be combined with agrivoltaic use of the land
  • Full EPC from a single contractor
  • 25-year panel and 5-year workmanship warranties

Cost & ROI

Ground-mount systems typically cost ₺10,000–₺12,000 per kWp for fixed tilt and ₺13,000–₺15,000/kWp for single-axis tracker, all-in including civil works, panels, inverters, cabling and grid connection. A 500 kWp fixed-tilt system generates approximately ₺2.7 million in electricity value per year. Payback: 4–6 years. Internal rate of return (IRR): 15–22% — comparable to premium real estate.

Why Choose Solar in Antalya?

We have completed ground-mount projects from 50 kWp to 1.2 MWp in the Antalya region. We understand local geology, grid constraints, TEDAŞ and EPDK requirements, and the fastest permitting routes. Our in-house design team uses PVsyst simulation software to produce bankable yield assessments.

FAQs

How much land do I need per kWp?

Approximately 10–12 m² of land per kWp for fixed tilt. A 100 kWp system requires roughly 1,000–1,200 m², or about 0.12 hectares. Single-axis tracker systems require slightly more spacing.

Do I need an EPDK licence?

Systems over 50 kWp require an EPDK (Energy Market Regulatory Authority) electricity generation licence in Turkey. We manage the full application on your behalf. The process takes 3–6 months. Systems up to 50 kWp can use the simplified "unlicensed" scheme.

Can I build on agricultural land?

In Turkey, standalone solar plants on agricultural land are restricted and require change-of-use approval, which is difficult to obtain. However, agrivoltaic systems (solar combined with agriculture) are possible on some agricultural land. We advise on the best land-use strategy for your parcel.

What grid connection capacity is available?

TEDAŞ capacity depends on the local grid. We conduct a grid study as part of the feasibility phase to identify the available MW capacity at the nearest substation and the estimated connection cost.

Ground-Mount Solar: Investing in Utility-Scale Generation

A ground-mounted solar plant is a generation facility built on non-agricultural land suited to energy investment, ranging in scale from a few hundred kWp up to several MW. In line with Türkiye's 2030 targets, ground-mount projects now offer attractive opportunities for individual and institutional investors alike. For anyone holding idle land in inland areas such as Antalya, Isparta or Burdur, a ground-mount plant can become a strong source of passive income.
