A typical 5 kW system in Turkey
At around ₺ 80 per watt, a 5 kW rooftop system costs roughly ₺ 400,000 and produces about 6,548 kWh in its first year at Turkey's 4.6 peak sun hours a day. Your real numbers depend on your roof, shading, panel choice and how much power you use during the day — run your own figures in the calculator to see your exact payback, net savings and ROI.
How the solar calculator works
