Our SPP Implementation in TOKİ Residences
Following the earthquake that caused immense suffering to all, the post-earthquake reconstruction process is rapidly continuing in the Hatay, Osmaniye, and Kahramanmaraş regions. This process is not limited to merely replacing destroyed structures with new ones. The projects and the process also encompass creating safer, more sustainable, and more livable spaces. In line with this understanding, innovative applications that strengthen the energy infrastructure are being integrated into the TOKİ housing projects being implemented.
In this context, we contributed to uninterrupted and sustainable energy production by installing solar energy systems (SPP) on the roofs of TOKİ residences built in the earthquake zone.
Our Rooftop Solar Energy Application in TOKİ Residences Built in the Earthquake Zone
As Reltek Energy, following the major earthquake disaster our country experienced, we assumed the responsibility of being not just an engineering firm, but a social solution partner in the healing process. In the massive housing initiative carried out by TOKİ in critical regions such as Hatay, Osmaniye, and Kahramanmaraş, our primary goal was to integrate the infinite potential of solar energy into modern living spaces.
With Reltek Energy’s technical expertise and innovative perspective, we laid the foundations for energy independence in these new cities established after the disaster. In our projects, we aimed not only to provide technology but also to build a self-sufficient, safe, and environmentally friendly ecosystem for the local population. We placed each panel with the goal of building more resilient cities, acting with the awareness that energy is an uninterrupted right.
The engineering discipline we demonstrated during this process provided a technological impetus to the region’s recovery, allowing us to make Reltek Energy’s signature a symbol of a sustainable future.
Technical Implementation and Efficiency-Oriented Design
The installed photovoltaic solar panels were placed on the roof surfaces of the residences, taking into account architectural structure and static calculations. In the system design, maximum efficiency was targeted by analyzing the region’s sunshine duration, radiation values, climatic conditions, and roof orientations.
The electricity generated by the panels contributes to the continuity of energy in residential life by being used to meet the energy needs of:
- Common area lighting,
- Elevator systems,
- Hydrophores and other technical equipment.
Considering the critical importance of energy security in post-disaster areas, rooftop SPP applications offer significant infrastructure support.
Thermal Energy and Hybrid Solutions
In addition to electricity generation, thermal energy efficiency was also considered in the project. Domestic hot water production is provided by solar collectors integrated into the roofs, and energy consumption is optimized by supporting central heating systems. This creates a more economical and environmentally friendly heating infrastructure.
Long-lasting and Reliable Infrastructure
The installed systems were designed according to long-lasting and reliable operating principles, featuring high-efficiency panel technology, equipment selection compliant with international standards, and mounting infrastructure resistant to regional climatic conditions. With this rooftop solar energy application, a sustainable, uninterrupted, and clean energy infrastructure has been provided to the new living spaces built in the earthquake zone.
Post-Disaster Resilience and Energy Security
These systems established in disaster areas are the most concrete example of the “self-sufficient structures” concept in potential emergency situations. These infrastructures, capable of operating independently or supported by the grid, ensure that vital systems such as elevators and drinking water hydrophores are not interrupted.
Since the mounting systems we use are designed in full compliance with the region’s seismic activity and wind load calculations, the continuity of energy production is guaranteed even under the most challenging natural conditions. This approach proves that in the post-earthquake modern urban planning, energy security is not a luxury but a fundamental necessity.
