The Kalyon Solar Technologies Factory, which is unique in Europe and the Middle East, as well as the Karapınar Solar Power Plant, Turkey’s largest solar power plant with an installed power of 1 GW, lead our country’s presence in the field of sustainable energy. We took a closer look at domestic solar panel production technologies by visiting the factory in Ankara.
Technologies that train future bankers!
What does the technological infrastructure, both software and hardware, used by Kuveyt Türk offer? What are the details of the MT new graduate program?

Kalyon Solar Technologies Factory, which has a closed area of 100 thousand square meters, adds value to life and power to the economy as one of the most important industrial facilities with high technology capability in our country. This factory, which was established with the aim of 100% domestic production of solar panels, provides employment to 1,400 people. The facility, where 4 stages of solar panel production including R&D, which is implemented for the first time in Turkey, are gathered under one roof, is the first and only in the world in this respect.
3.5 million solar panels to be produced in the factory with a solar panel production capacity of 500 MW will be used in the installation of the Karapınar Solar Power Plant. Then, the focus will be on providing domestic solutions to other power plants to be established in Turkey, as well as on export successes with new technologies to be produced.
The Karapınar Solar Power Plant, which is targeted to be completed within 2.5 years, will increase Turkey’s approximately 7 thousand MW of solar energy to 8 thousand MW. With the transition of the factory and power plant to production, an annual foreign exchange substitution of 345 million dollars will be provided.
SolarUP project details
Organized by Kalyon-PV SolarUp Boost Programstands out as an acceleration program that aims to support initiatives that can make an impact in the sustainable energy sector.
The target in the program that provides productization and commercialization support; Improving the production capacity of Kalyon PV is contributing to the growth of enterprises with solutions that can be easily adapted and scaled even in times of crisis.
The program works on renewable energy, innovative materials, digital transformation, production technologies, recycling technologies, solar energy production technologies, sustainability and occupational safety in the field of energy, regardless of sector; It is aimed at initiatives that can develop solutions to the focal areas of Kalyon-PV, which is an innovative technology product or prototype.
