The largest of the solar energy projects initiated by Selçuklu Municipality in recent years, the Bağrıkurt Neighborhood Solar Energy Project, is progressing rapidly. The massive facility, established on an area of 45,000 square meters, will meet 90% of the municipality's electricity needs for all its facilities.
In order to leave a sustainable future, Selçuklu Municipality continues its projects in all areas, including energy efficiency and renewable energy systems. In this context, 1,726,684 kilowatt-hours of energy production have been achieved with the installation of solar panels on the municipality service building and the Tropical Butterfly Garden. This has prevented the need to cut down 169,123 trees.
Installation is currently taking place on the 45,000 square meters of land in the Bağrıkurt Neighborhood, which is the largest investment within the scope of the solar energy projects. The project, which is under construction at a rapid pace, will fulfill 90% of the electricity needs of the municipal facilities once completed. The facility will generate a total of 5,760,000 kilowatts of electricity annually and will contribute to Selçuklu's energy needs with its 7,224 panels, each with a capacity of 500 watts.
Upon completion of the project, Selçuklu Municipality, with the panels located in Kelebekler Vadisi and the service building, will generate a total annual electricity production of 6,847,500 kilowatts. The project will prevent the cutting of 85,600 trees and the emission of 4,534 tons of CO2. Additionally, the electricity generated in the project will be equivalent to the annual electricity needs of 2,283 households.
