Solar energy, which is one of the rising energy sources of recent years, has started to be used in electric vehicles and many sectors. We took a close look at how solar panels are produced in Bakırlar Enerji’s factory in this sector that is growing with technology.
How are solar panels produced in Turkey?
Bakırlar Energy started its production at the beginning of 2023 with the production experience from Bakırlar Tekstil. They currently have solar power plants in their integrated factories and are planning to install an e-charging station in their parking lot soon. In addition, they are constructing solar power plants with a capacity of approximately 50 MW with their ongoing construction sites. It produces solar panels using quality raw materials and state-of-the-art machinery.
Half-cut technology and stringer machines are used in production. Panel framing processes are made using silicone. The company produces single-sided and double-sided panels. They produce lighter and less costly panels by using transparent backsheets in double-sided panels. It follows the energy sector closely with its R&D team and aims to increase its production capacity to 1.2 GWh.
Domestic cell production and the transition to Top-CON technology are also among the important issues. Bakırlar Energy is assertive about being transparent, reliable and auditable. They introduce their factories to investors and show their production processes.
Bakırlar Energy serves as the energy company of Bakırlar Tekstil, which has 25 years of industry and production experience. It currently has a capacity of 50 MW with an ongoing field project. The indoor parking lot of the administrative building of the company is covered with solar panels and it is planned to add a charging station there. It has a company group with a total of 1300 employees. It aims to increase its annual production capacity from 600 MW to 1.2 GW within the next year.
The company has some advantages in the production process; These include the use of antireflective glass, complex stringer machines, half cut technology with non-destructive laser cutting method, auto bussing machine providing homogeneous soldering process, bifacial panels capable of double-sided production using transparent backsheets that are lighter than glass-glass panels and reduce field costs, state-of-the-art technology. and double-layer laminating machines, a frame machine that does not use double-sided tape with the use of silicon in the production of fully insulated panels, and an IV tester that better simulates the sun with A++ light source.
