Aselsan commissions solar plants to meet its energy needs
Turkish company Aselsan has commissioned solar power plants to supply its energy needs.
The Ankara-based defense and electronics company says two plants will cover all its energy needs as its production expands.
The move is intended to reduce energy costs and support its sustainability goals.
The plants are expected to prevent about 121,000 tons of carbon emissions each year, equal to the amount absorbed by about 4 million trees in a year.
Aselsan is also using its own Pulsar inverters to connect solar power to the grid.
The company says it will continue investing in renewable energy and improving resource efficiency.
