For luxury villas and estates where the rooftop alone cannot provide the desired generation capacity — or where maximising output takes priority over roof integration — ground mount solar is the ideal complement or alternative.
A well-designed ground mount system generates 10–15% more electricity than the equivalent rooftop installation, because panels can be positioned at the precise optimal tilt and azimuth angle. For Alanya's latitude, this is typically 25–30° facing south — uncompromised by roof orientation.
Garden & Estate Integration
For luxury properties, ground mount systems need not be utilitarian. We design structures using powder-coated steel in colours that blend with your garden, specify inter-row spacing that allows garden planting beneath panels, and position arrays to be screened from principal views where desired.
Specifications
- Hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated steel structures
- Fixed optimal tilt or single-axis tracking (+18–22% yield)
- System sizes: 10 kWp garden systems to 500+ kWp estates
- Agrivoltaic option: garden planting beneath elevated arrays
- Underground cabling to inverter room — invisible from garden
ROI
Ground mount systems cost approximately ₺11,000–₺14,000/kWp installed. A 30 kWp system generates 46,500 kWh/year — worth ₺162,750 at current rates. Payback: 2–3 years for a villa with high daytime consumption.

Utility-Scale Ground Mount: Investing in a Solar Power Plant
A ground-mounted solar power plant is a generation facility — anywhere from a few hundred kWp to several MW — built on non-agricultural land suited to energy investment. As Turkey pursues its 2030 targets, ground-mount projects present genuinely attractive opportunities for private and institutional investors alike. For those holding idle land in the interior — around Isparta, Burdur or the wider Antalya province — a ground-mount plant can become a substantial source of passive income.
Project Sizes and Indicative Costs
* Based on a grid sale tariff of ₺3.50/kWh, a 15% loss factor and an Alanya-region yield of 1,550 kWh/kWp.
Licensing and Permitting for Ground-Mount Plants
There are two principal legal routes for ground-mount projects in Turkey:
- Unlicensed (net-metering) generation, up to 1 MWp: No production licence from the energy regulator is required — a zoning permit and connection agreement suffice. Typical timeframe 3–6 months
- Licensed generation, above 1 MWp: Requires a production licence from the regulator, environmental clearance (EIA) and, where applicable, forestry permission. Typical timeframe 12–24 months
- In either case, a grid-connection feasibility study and preliminary connection offer from the distribution utility (TEDAŞ/EDAŞ) are mandatory
- Where agricultural land is involved, non-agricultural use permission from the Ministry of Agriculture may also be required
What Makes a Site Suitable
The technical and legal criteria that determine whether a parcel of land suits a ground-mount investment:
- Proximity to the grid: A connection distance of 500 m–2 km to the distribution utility's line is the ideal range
- Solar irradiance: A minimum of 1,400 kWh/m²/year GHI (the Alanya region averages around 1,971 kWh/m²)
- Slope: A maximum gradient of 15%, with a south-facing aspect preferred
- Zoning: Designation suitable for energy use or non-agricultural development
- Shading: A far-horizon obstruction analysis (forest, mountain or tall-structure shadow)
- Access: A wide road approach to transport equipment, and to admit maintenance vehicles over the life of the plant
Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
For a commissioned ground-mount plant we provide full operation and maintenance services:
- Panel cleaning twice a year (professional crew, mobile washing rig)
- Round-the-clock remote monitoring via SCADA
- Annual thermographic and electrical-measurement inspection
- Automated mowing (on smaller sites) or managed grazing
- An annual performance report with P50/P90 comparison
