A global energy revolution with Europe’s largest solar plant, the Kalyon Karapinar Solar Power Plant, prioritizing domestic production, championing gender equality in engineering, and driving sustainability.

Ankara, Turkey, December 25, 2024 -- Kalyon PV is redefining renewable energy leadership with Europe’s largest solar plant, the Kalyon Karapinar Solar Power Plant, which powers nearly 3% of Turkey’s electricity and showcases a bold path to energy independence. The company is also breaking barriers in gender equality, with women leading key roles in engineering and sustainability—setting a global example in inclusivity. This is a story of innovation, sustainability, and social progress, inspiring a greener, more equitable future.

In a world where energy transitions are no longer optional but critical, Kalyon PV has emerged as a global pioneer in renewable energy.

Following there global unveiling at UN Youth World Environment Day back in June 2024 at its groundbreaking Kalyon Karapinar Solar Power Plant, Kalyon PV showcased its leadership in fostering sustainability, technological innovation, and youth empowerment.

Under the theme “Shaping a Sustainable Future Together,” the June 2024 event brought global attention to the role of renewable energy in combating climate change and highlighted Kalyon’s efforts in creating inclusive and scalable solutions for a greener future.

A Vision of Renewable Excellence

Kalyon PV and its parent company, Kalyon Energy, have become synonymous with innovation and sustainability. The Kalyon Karapinar Solar Power Plant—Europe’s largest and the world’s fifth-largest solar farm—stands as a testament to their vision. With over 3.5 million solar panels spanning 20 million square meters, this solar giant generates enough electricity to power nearly 3% of Turkey’s grid, underscoring its monumental role in reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.

Kalyon PV's innovations go beyond scale. The company has prioritized domestic production of solar panels, ensuring the highest quality standards while bolstering Turkey’s energy independence. Unlike many competitors who rely heavily on imports, Kalyon maintains full control over its supply chain, from raw materials to finished products. This decision reflects not only a commitment to sustainability but also to economic resilience and technological sovereignty.

Kalyon Energy’s portfolio extends beyond solar power. The company is making waves in wind and hydroelectric energy, pursuing a holistic approach to renewable solutions. From transforming barren lands into energy-producing hubs to integrating solar panels into major infrastructure like Istanbul’s airport, Kalyon demonstrates how renewable energy can seamlessly blend into both urban and rural landscapes.

Kalyon’s R&D facilities in Ankara are hubs of innovation, driving advancements in photovoltaic technology and energy storage solutions. The company is exploring cutting-edge battery technologies to address one of the industry’s biggest challenges: energy storage and grid stability.

Their commitment to sustainability also includes converting previously unusable lands into thriving renewable energy centers, showcasing how the transition to green energy can also serve as a tool for environmental restoration.

Empowering the Future Through Inclusivity and Education

Kalyon is deeply committed to education and inclusivity, recognizing that the renewable energy transition is only possible through diverse talent and global collaboration. Their hands-on learning programs at the Ankara factories provide young professionals and decision-makers with immersive experiences in solar panel production and renewable energy technologies.

Championing gender inclusivity in a traditionally male-dominated sector, Kalyon boasts women leaders in critical roles, including Chief Engineers and a Chief Sustainability Officer. Their leadership has been instrumental in driving Kalyon’s sustainability agenda and setting a powerful example for future generations.

Kalyon has also launched initiatives to empower youth as climate leaders, providing mentorship and resources to young innovators and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of sustainability.

Leadership in Sustainability and Global Energy Policy

Kalyon’s impact extends to the global energy stage. Their work is guided by a mission to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, aligning with international climate goals. Omer Kotan, Kalyon’s Head of Sustainability, described the company’s vision:

“We see Kalyon as a global sustainability production center. We’re not just reducing emissions; we’re building a blueprint for a better world—one where clean energy powers progress without compromise.”

This vision includes advancing international energy trading, developing innovative solutions for cross-border energy sharing, and integrating renewable energy into global grids.

Kalyon’s achievements are both inspiring and instructive. Their fully integrated solar panel production process serves as a model for nations seeking to reduce reliance on external suppliers. By focusing on domestic innovation, Kalyon has achieved a level of energy independence that challenges the global status quo.

Their dedication to sustainable practices, from production to implementation, has earned them recognition as a global leader in renewable energy. By combining cutting-edge technology, social responsibility, and a commitment to education, Kalyon PV offers a roadmap for tackling some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
