In 2021, Turkey has made it mandatory to calculate the import duty on solar modules in kilograms, instead of square metres as previously stipulated. Under the government's new algorithm, the minimum price for imported solar cells will be $60/kg.
Hakki Karacaoglan, chief executive of German consultancy KRC Energy, said the new regulations favoured local manufacturers and could contribute to a decline in the share of imported cells in the Turkish PV market.
"But as defined by the new regulations, $60/kg does not affect business at the moment, as the tariff on a kilo of cells works out to more than $60, but the situation could change if polysilicon and solar cell prices will fall as expected, or if the government will decide to raise the $60 threshold further." Hakki Karacaoglan further said.
If Turkish pv module manufacturers decide to import solar cells above the $60/kg limit, they will be affected by the import duties.
Currently, there are two Turkish manufacturers that also produce or plan to produce solar cells - Kalyon Solar Technologies in Ankara and Smart Solar Technologies in Izmir.(This article is compiled from pv-magazine)
