An analysis of hybrid solar potential in Türkiye indicates that adding solar capacity to existing wind and hydroelectric sites could add between 8 GW and 25.6 GW of capacity, potentially making solar the largest energy source by installed capacity in the country.

This report by Ember analyses how hybrid solar power plants—which share transmission lines with existing wind and hydroelectric facilities—can overcome grid connection constraints in Türkiye. It estimates a baseline potential of 8 GW of hybrid solar capacity, which could increase Türkiye's total solar capacity to 30 GW, making it the country's largest energy source by installed capacity.
