İFA Yatırım · Rooftop solar

Keep your capital in your business. Let your rooftop generate energy.

For suitable projects, İFA funds the initial rooftop solar investment. Your business can benefit from solar energy while you allocate capital to your own priorities.

The location and approximate roof area are enough to start the conversation.

Beyond installation

A well-performing solar plant is also İFA’s priority.

Sectors and facilities

Which facilities can be considered?

Rooftop solar can be assessed for production and storage facilities across different sectors. Roof structure, available area and the facility’s energy needs determine suitability.

Frequently asked questions

What do I pay at the outset?

İFA funds the initial solar investment for suitable projects. Any additional work required for the roof or facility is scoped separately during the proposal stage.

How do I benefit from the energy?

Energy-use and benefit-sharing terms are based on your consumption and the project structure, and are clearly stated in the proposal.

How are maintenance and transfer arranged?

Maintenance responsibilities, the operating period and end-of-term transfer conditions are defined in the contract.

Can solar panels be installed on my plastics factory’s roof?

Plastics manufacturing facilities can also be assessed for rooftop solar. Roof structure, available area, operating conditions and electricity consumption form the basis of the suitability assessment.

Would rooftop solar suit my factory in Istanbul?

Suitability does not depend on the city alone. Roof orientation, shading, available area and consumption patterns are considered together. The location and approximate roof area are enough for an initial conversation.

Can İFA’s investment model be considered for my factory in Şanlıurfa?

You can also request an assessment for your facility in Urfa. The rooftop solar investment at Li & Fung’s Miyar facility is a project example in this city. The investment scope and terms for any new facility are based on its own data.

How is rooftop solar assessed for cold storage facilities?

Roof characteristics are assessed alongside the refrigeration systems’ daily and seasonal electricity consumption. The extent to which generation and consumption align is an important part of the evaluation.

Can livestock facilities’ roofs also be assessed?

Roofs at livestock facilities, feed production sites and other agricultural facilities can also be considered. Roof condition, usage requirements and the business’s energy needs determine suitability.

What information is needed for an initial assessment?

The location, activity and approximate roof size are enough for an initial conversation. Roof photos and electricity consumption information can support a more detailed assessment later.
