Co-Founder and CFO of ISOTEC Zahide Ozturk<\/strong>, industry publication Servicex<\/strong>\u2018In an interview, he discussed the changing investment model in solar energy, the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of the ISOTEC, its export network extending to 48 countries, and its investment plans for the upcoming period. The interview was published on August 11, 2026; we have compiled the highlights in this article.<\/em><\/p>\n

The market is growing, the form of investment is changing.<\/h2>\n

While T\u00fcrkiye is experiencing a period of strong growth in solar energy, the scale and structure of investments are also changing. According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources shared by Zahide \u00d6zt\u00fcrk in the interview, the installed solar capacity will reach [amount] by the end of March 2026. 26.478 MW<\/strong>\u2018'a reached and the total installed capacity %21,2<\/strong>\u2018'It created [the system]. The sun is no longer an alternative source, but one of the main sources of the energy system.'.<\/p>\n

However, reading the picture solely through the lens of increased installed capacity is misleading. \u00d6zt\u00fcrk emphasizes that limitations in access to finance and grid capacity have shifted the burden towards larger, publicly funded projects: the importance of solar power is not diminishing., The form of investment is changing.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

48 Countries: Exports Are Not Just a Revenue Item, But a Risk Distribution<\/h2>\n

ISOTEC does not tie its growth to a single market or a few customers. It expands from the Balkans to Europe, from the Middle East to other global markets. Hundreds of customers in 48 countries<\/strong> The company that achieved this sees exports not only as a revenue stream but also as a structure that diversifies market risk and enhances corporate resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cExports are not only a growth avenue, but also an insurance policy for corporate sustainability.\u201d

In the interview, \u00d6zt\u00fcrk stated that he directly manages finance and corporate services, strategic procurement, supply chain, risk management, and customer relations; he is a founding partner. Erkan \u00d6zt\u00fcrk<\/strong>\u2018It states that with its leadership in engineering, technology, and automation, these disciplines come together in the same decision-making process.<\/p>\n

The Invisible Spine: The Supportive System<\/h2>\n

In a solar power plant, the panels are visible; however, the system that carries the entire load is often invisible. Yet, wind, snow, temperature variations, corrosion, ground conditions, and installation tolerances constantly affect the supporting system. If the system is not designed correctly, even the highest quality panels alone cannot provide the lifespan and performance that the investor expects.<\/p>\n

The starting point for ISOTEC is not to fit a ready-made product to a project, but to transform the real data of the project into the right engineering solution. From trapezoidal and sandwich roofs to membrane surfaces, from flat roofs to different ground structures. More than 40 systems<\/strong> It is being developed; static calculations, material selection, production and application information are managed as a single chain.<\/p>\n

On the material side ZM coated high-strength steel<\/strong> However, \u00d6zt\u00fcrk doesn't define quality solely by the material: standards, certifications, coating class, and traceability on a batch basis<\/strong> It needs to be managed collaboratively. The Solarpro configurator, digital planning infrastructure, installation training, and local partner support are all part of the investment lifecycle.<\/p>\n
