Eurosolar Turkey, officially established in November 2002, has a General Assembly as its highest governing body. In addition, a five-member Board of Directors manages the association’s affairs. The Board consists of a President, Vice President, General Secretary, Treasurer, and Members. There is also an Auditing Committee. Eurosolar Turkey is the Turkish branch of the Eurosolar organization, headquartered in Bonn. Besides Turkey, Eurosolar has branches in Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Yugoslavia, Luxembourg, and Spain.
Eurosolar Turkey, as the Turkish branch of EUROSOLAR, which is headquartered in Germany and has branches in various European countries, will operate in accordance with EUROSOLAR’s principles and in a manner required by Turkey’s unique conditions.
Eurosolar Turkey’s official objective, as stated in its charter, is “to replace fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), which currently meet almost all energy needs, and nuclear energy with renewable (wind, solar, biomass, and water) and therefore environmentally friendly and clean energy sources.”

EUROSOLAR Türkiye has the facilities listed below in relation to “PRIMA Calls 2026” project call and these will be used in the open call with our potential partners.
The lab components are follows:
Heirloom Seeds Utilization
The hydroponic greenhouse employs heirloom seeds—traditional, genetically unmodified seeds passed down through generations. These seeds, representing a vital link to our agricultural heritage, are central to promoting sustainable farming practices. In collaboration with the Ata Tohum Takas Derneği (Heirloom Seed Exchange Association), the seeds were germinated under controlled greenhouse conditions before being integrated into the hydroponic system. This innovative approach bridges traditional agriculture with modern techniques, creating a model for efficient and sustainable food production.
Agri-Photovoltaic System Ready to Serve as a Living Lab
The agri-photovoltaic energy systems is active to serve as a living lab. These include:
10-kilowatt on-grid systems, which connect to the electrical grid to feed excess energy into the system and draw energy when needed.
15-kilowatt off-grid systems, designed to operate independently, providing energy to remote areas with limited or no grid access.
Vermiculture in Recycled Refrigerator Casings
For our vermicomposting demonstration pilot, we prioritised acquiring knowledge from experienced practitioners and experts in the field. With the guidance of Prof. Dr. Tanay Sıdkı Uyar, who has extensive experience in vermicomposting, we consulted several individuals and gathered valuable insights into worm farming. These consultations emphasised the importance of maintaining optimal temperature and humidity for the healthy growth of worms and efficient compost production.
Aquaponics
Our aquaponic system, initiated in May 2024, was fully operational by August 2024 following an intensive development period, and has been functioning seamlessly since September 2024, with all deficiencies addressed. The construction and commissioning phases were executed meticulously, achieving the targeted outcomes through the disciplined efforts of the project team at every stage. Thus, the system was successfully brought to a high performance level.
Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae Production as Fish Feed in a Bokashi Fermenter
To cultivate black soldier flies (BSF), we sought insights from an expert in this field. Based on these consultations, we designed a specialised container to facilitate the healthy development of larvae.
