Site Plan
Solarkent is being built on a 28.000 sqm land plot and it consists of 4 towers of 31 storeys each, offering 10 different apartment layouts for a total of 866 units. Its location has been one of the best developing areas of Istanbul for the past 4 years.

Solarkent Overview
The upstream technology enabling Solarkent (which means Solar City) to produce part of its own electricity without damaging the environment renders the project unique when compared to other new developments. Solarkent, taking its name from its uniqueness, will use the electricity recovered from solar energy for heating and lighting purposes, hence will safeguard the residents' pockets while giving them a chance to invest in a clean future.

Solar panels, which will produce the electricity from solar energy, will be placed on the roof tops and in outdoor parking spaces. The excess energy produced during the daytime will be sold in order to make the necessary electricity for the night time much cheaper. Operating almost like an eco-power station, Solarkent will contribute to its residents' expenses and will enable them to help the World in its efforts for a cleaner future.

Self produced electricity being used not only in the communal areas but within the apartments as well will make blackouts history. Economical generators running on gas will be placed on site in order to support the site in case of need to give residents full comfort.

In order to avoid possible shortages in water supply (one of the greatest problems of today's cities) every tower in Solarkent will be equipped with its own water tank. Rain water will be stored in order to be used in the communal areas. Solarkent residents will be admired due to the attention they will be able to pay to individual and community expenses in addition to caring for the environment.
