The teams join their efforts in the fields of engineering, selection of suitable systems, installation and follow up of the permit processes, system monitoring and maintenance of solar systems that generate energy. As of 2021, Arçelik switched to a new structure specifically designed for solar systems, and authorized 30 companies, expert in solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) with over ten years' experience, as Arçelik’s solution partners in this business area. We plan to increase the number of authorized solar system solution partners to provide services across Turkey.
Through our solar business, Arçelik released two types of solar panels to the market: 540W for industrial use and 455W for private use. Both products have been released into the Turkish market by the end of 2021 quarter one, under 12-year product warranties and a minimum 83% linear performance guarantee over a period of 25 years . Secondly, businesses with experience in EPC of solar panels will be transferred to Arçelik Solar dealers. Thirty dealers are expected to be operational in 2022.
