AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation establishes the Third Generation Solar Cells Application and Research Center at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. The Center's primary goals include supporting Turkey's 12th Development Plan and the 2053 Net Zero Emission target by developing integrated value chains for solar energy using domestic technologies. It focuses on fundamental and applied research in third-generation solar cell materials, architectures, module design, and recycling, as well as integrated photovoltaic applications with low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture. The Center conducts R&D on strategic materials like boron compounds and graphene, plans commercial demonstrations for transport, industry, buildings, and agriculture, develops grid integration solutions, and promotes university-industry collaboration in high-value sectors including space, defense, and autonomous vehicles. It also supports doctoral researchers, organizes training programs, offers technical services to public and private entities, and aims to commercialize research outputs while raising public awareness of renewable energy.
