Asunim Group installed the system in Turkey through its well-established subsidiary Asunim Türkiye and supported the whole process via excellent engineering, constant support via its EU professionals on site, during project design and commissioning using only high quality components.
The proud owner of this system is Saray Hal?, a very old and well established group of companies active in carpet manufacturing, dairy farming, agriculture, mining, construction, and tourism and steel. More projects of the same type for the different business ventures and locations of the owner have been agreed upon and will soon be realized.
On the farm in Develi, approximately 18,000 head of cattle, are now farmed and milked with the use of the solar electricity that is produced by 4675 reliable YL245P-29b solar modules manufactured by Yingli Solar at an annual average of 1,800MWh/year.
The modules were installed roof-parallel over three distributed rooftops with several subsections and 20° inclination. Most of the mechanical installation job was done successfully during winter months under partially heavy snowfall and taking rigorous health and safety precautions.
Throughout system design, close attention was paid to the potentially high wind-loads, the effects of local high temperature variability and heavy snow loads in the area. Given the immediate presence of livestock, the high ammonia resistance of all system components against potentially increased levels in the surrounding air was taken into consideration. Design precautions were also taken to reduce noise levels to a maximum by grouping low-maintenance string inverters manufactured by in special designated areas in protected outside areas at one end of each building. The inverters were also chosen due to their full IP65 protection level via a Gore-Tex membrane protecting the equipment from any type of corrosion. Given the grouping of the inverters at one end of the system with considerable distances involved, potentially high DC cable losses had to be countered by increasing cable cross sections to up to 10mm2 on more distant module strings. The BETAflam Solar cables used are manufactured by LEONI STUDER with a highly resistant and extremely durable electron-beam cross-linked insulation material that protects the system owner from having to replace cabling during the lifetime of the system.
