Hasan Kalyoncu University (HKU) and the Kalyon PV R&D Centre are strengthening their cooperation to develop innovative solar energy storage systems.
Following the cooperation meeting held at Hasan Kalyoncu University with the participation of Kalyon PV R&D Centre officials and HKU academics, a project aiming at the comparative analysis of different battery technologies for the storage and efficient use of solar energy was launched.
At the meeting held in the HKU Senate Meeting Hall under the chairmanship of Rector Prof. Dr. Türkay Dereli, and also attended by Kalyon PV R&D Director Dr. Nesrin Töre Şen, R&D Manager Dr. Güven Korkmaz, HKU Vice Rectors Prof. Dr. Mehmet Lütfi Yola and Prof. Dr. Gül Rengin Küçükerdoğan, HKU Secretary General Ümit Şahnaoğlu and academics, the R&D projects carried out in cooperation between Kalyon PV and HKU were evaluated. During the meeting, renewable energy strategies and future cooperation steps were discussed, and the status of current projects was also reviewed.
In a statement on the matter, HKU Rector Prof. Dr. Türkay Dereli said: “As a university, we attach great importance to work in the field of sustainability, particularly renewable energy and its technologies. In this context, we cooperate with the Kalyon PV (Kalyon Güneş Teknolojileri Üretim A.Ş.) R&D Centre to find environmentally friendly and efficient solutions to problems in the field of renewable energy technologies and to develop new technologies, and we produce projects together. The project on solar energy storage and monitoring systems launched today will also lead to the creation of an important data source for increasing sustainability and efficiency in the energy sector. The cooperation between HKU and the Kalyon PV R&D Centre aims to contribute to the advancement and implementation of research in this field.”
Kalyon PV CEO Ersan Tüfekçi, who joined the meeting online, said: “From day one, we have shaped our corporate vision to go beyond the identity of a panel manufacturer and become a technology production centre in the field of solar energy. As Kalyon PV, our aim is to work with scientific organisations and develop projects. We continuously carry out joint studies with various universities and research institutes. In line with this vision, we are pleased to bring to life our work with Hasan Kalyoncu University on ‘Open-Field Test Station and Comparative Analysis of Different Battery Technologies in Solar Energy Storage Systems’. Within the scope of the work, we will be able to monitor, moment by moment at HKU, the innovative panels we produce in our R&D Centre. We believe that the outputs we obtain here will bring positive feedback to the scientific world and will create a foundation for our students to gain industry experience. As a brand that produces the technologies of the future, we also find it very important to touch our students’ lives.”
