The Importance of Technical Consulting in Solar Energy: A New Era in Solar Power Plant Investments in Türkiye

Why Solar Energy Technical Consulting?

A solar power project is not simply about selecting panels, inverters, and construction. A true solar energy project is a multifaceted engineering undertaking encompassing site analysis, shading modeling, production simulations, technical feasibility checks, electrical infrastructure analysis, and long-term performance projections.

Therefore, technical consultancy;

• Incorrect site selection,

• Inefficient settlement,

• Incorrect equipment choices,

• It is the most effective way to prevent production losses.

Proper technical advice helps investors establish a realistic energy production model while optimizing their CAPEX–OPEX balance.

The Role of Consulting in Solar Power Projects: Site Selection, Design, and Simulation

The success of a solar energy investment is determined even before the panels arrive on site. This is where technical consulting services come into play.

1. Site Selection and Technical Feasibility Analysis

• Slope and orientation of the land

• Shading effects

• Distance to transformers and connection points

• Geotechnical and structural suitability

• Soil classification in the field

If site suitability is not properly analyzed, a solar power project loses value even before it is built.

2. PV Design and Placement Optimization

Professional consultants use internationally recognized software such as Helioscope , AutoCAD , PVcase , and PVsyst to create the most optimal layout.

In this way:

• Distance between rows of panels

• Construction loads

• Sun angle optimization

• Monthly/annual production forecasts are calculated scientifically.

3. Production Simulations (PVsyst)

Thanks to accurate modeling through PVsyst, investors receive clear answers to the following questions before the project even begins:

• What will the annual production be?

• What is the PR (Performance Ratio)?

• What are the annual losses?

• What is the return on investment period in years?

Errors made at this stage will create costs with a multiplier effect over the 25-year lifespan of the facility.

The Added Value of Technical Consulting in EPC and Procurement Processes

Choosing an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company is a critical decision in solar power projects. Our technical consulting team;

• It compares EPC bids from a technical perspective,

• It performs brand and cost analyses of panel and inverters.

• It assesses supply chain risks,

• Creates the technical specifications for the contract.

• It checks that quality standards are met.

This process enables investors to make the best choices in terms of both cost and quality.

Operation & Performance Monitoring: The True Value of a Solar Power Plant Emerges Later

The role of technical consultancy continues after solar power plant projects are established. During the O&M (Operation & Maintenance) phase, consultants provide the following services:

• Comparison of actual production and projected production.

• PR, IRR and production loss analyses

• Panel inspections with thermal camera

• Inverter fault analysis

• Network connection performance check

This ensures that the investor's facility operates at maximum efficiency.

Solar Energy Technical Consulting in Türkiye: Increasing Demand and a New Era

In Türkiye, the demand for technical consulting services has rapidly increased, particularly due to YEKA projects, unlicensed solar power plant investments, applications for energy storage projects, and the need for industrial enterprises to reduce their energy costs.

Investors now expect not just engineering services, but a strategic partnership from start to finish .

Conclusion: Solar Energy Technical Consulting Services Offer the Highest Return on Investment in Solar Power Plants.

Today, the highest return on investment in solar energy projects begins with the right technical consultancy. A scientific, data-driven, and internationally standardized approach in all processes, from site analysis and production simulation to EPC selection and operational efficiency, unlocks the true potential of the investment.

As the solar energy sector grows, the importance of technical consultancy continues to increase proportionally.

With the right consulting, you don't just install a solar power plant; you optimize a long-term energy investment.
