Astronergy has already secured supply contracts to provide the first modules of a 50MW capacity to Turkey, in the form of the ASM6610P module. The company received these contracts as a result of its long-standing contacts with the EPC Solmotion and its Turkish subsidiaries, as well as high-demands of premium-quality German modules in Turkey.

Astronergy's chief executive officer Thomas Volz said: “The local investors are specifically asking for high-quality modules, and they are prepared to pay more for them.

"Local investors are specifically asking for high-quality modules, and they are prepared to pay more for them."

“Quality is worth it because losses in yield are far less common than they are with photovoltaic (PV) projects that use poor quality modules.

“Our highly automated production also ensures that our module quality is not only very high but also consistent. That’s why, for example, we have an extremely low complaint rate of only 0.005%; word of this has clearly spread throughout the market.”
