Solimpeks R&D Projects

1. SUREFIT. H2020 Programme (H2020-LC-SC3-EE-2019)

The Surefit project aims to demonstrate fast-track renovation of existing domestic buildings by integrating innovative, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious prefabricated technologies. The project will reduce heat losses through the building envelope, thereby achieving near-zero energy targets while increasing the share of renewable energy in buildings.

2. PIPESTORE. VII Framework Programme (EU FP7-SME-2010-1- 262062)

PIPESTORE is a modular phase change material thermal store that enables optimal performance of renewable energy systems. The project aims to develop a thermal energy storage system that can effectively store and utilize renewable energy.

3. EAGLE. VII Framework Programme (EU FP7-SME-2011- 286161)

The European Project EAGLE aims to develop and demonstrate a dynamic, webbased, renewable energy rating platform. The project will provide accurate and objective information about the suitability of a renewable energy technology for a given user scenario, enabling consumers to make better-informed decisions.

4. 'SOLAR ASSISTED HEAT PUMP' The scientific and Technological Research council of Turkey (TUBITAK)

The Solar Assisted Heat Pump project aims to develop and install a solar-assisted PV/T heat pump hybrid system for demonstration purposes. The system will be used for electricity generation, heating, cooling, and domestic hot water supply, achieving high levels of occupant comfort and low risk of moisture-related problems/summer overheating.

5. "PV/T Project". The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)

The PV/T Project aims to combine PV and thermal collectors into a new hybrid collector. The project will develop an innovative solution that will increase energy efficiency, reduce costs, and eliminate dependence on imported components.

6. PV/T Production Line and Lean Manufacturing Process. Local Turkish Investment Office (MEVKA)

The PV/T Production Line project aims to set up a new production line to manufacture PV and PV/T products internally. The project will develop a lean manufacturing process that will increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the quality of the products.

7. Production Line Monitoring. Local Turkish Investment Office (MEVKA)

The Production Line Monitoring project aims to set up a new production line to manufacture PV and PV/T products internally. The project will develop a monitoring system that will ensure the quality of the products and improve the efficiency of the production line.

8. "Solar Water Heating Project" (TUBITAK - 1507)

The Solar Water Heating Project aims to investigate the effect of design parameters on the performance of a solar water heating tank with a corrugated metal hose heat exchanger. The project will develop a fully automatic test unit that will enable accurate testing and optimization of the system.

9. SOLARHUB EU Project

The SolarHub project is an EU-funded initiative aimed at strengthening connections between five Greek and Turkish solar energy innovation ecosystems. The project will co-develop a Hub Strategy and a Joint Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, engage industry, government, research institutes, and the public to support research and accelerate commercialization, implement joint research activities, and develop four pre-designs of diverse solar energy solutions.

10. A design, prototyping, and optimization of an innovative absorber plate aimed at improving and localizing the performance of solar thermal and PV/T collectors (TUBITAK 1707)

SOLİMPEKS and Innorma ARGE are partnering on a project to develop an innovative absorber plate for solar thermal and PV/T collectors. The project aims to create a domestically produced, energy-efficient, and cost-effective absorber plate that can replace the imported and costly component currently used in SOLİMPEKS' solar thermal and PV/T panels.

11. Design and manufacturing of an energy-efficient plug-andplay boiler that can be powered by different thermal energy sources (TUBITAK 1707)

In partnership with Innorma ARGE, SOLİMPEKS is working on a project to design and manufacture an energy-efficient, plug-and-play boiler that can be integrated with multiple thermal sources. The project aims to reduce dependence on foreign imports and increase international competitiveness in technology.
