Solar module manufacturer Hanwha Q Cells has broken ground on a new photovoltaic manufacturing facility in Ankara, Turkey.
The factory is the result of the Karapinar Renewable Energy Resource Area tender, which the Turkish government awarded to the consortium of Hanwha Q Cells and Kalyon Enerji in March.
Modules from the plant will be used in the construction of a 1GW solar plant to be built at Konya-Karapinar.
The Hanwha-Kalyon joint venture will also set up a research and development centre at the site.
