Why Izmir is Embracing Home Energy Storage

Izmir, Türkiye’s third-largest city, has become a hotspot for home energy storage systems. With rising electricity costs and frequent grid instability, households are turning to solar batteries and hybrid solutions. Did you know?

• Soaring Energy Prices: Türkiye’s electricity tariffs increased by 130% since 2021 (Source: TEDAŞ).
• Government incentives for solar+storage combos under the National Renewable Energy Action Plan.
• Frequent power outages during summer peaks.
