Aksa Energy, is a publicly traded energy company which was incorporated in 1997 and generates electricity. The main shareholder of Aksa Energy is Kazancı Holding. Cemil Kazancı is the Board Chairman and CEO of the Company. Aksa Energy, having 13 power plant investments in 8 countries, carries out all power plant installation processes from project designing to procurement, construction and installation within its own organization. Aksa Energy has constructed and oper. [pdf]
Aksa Energy's current global projects include a 430MW natural gas power plant in Talimarjan, Uzbekistan, a 240MW heat and power plant in Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan, a 350MW natural gas power plant in Kumasi, Ghana, and a 255MW natural gas power plant in Saint Louis, Senegal.
In the beginning of 2021, Aksa Energy also signed a 30-year concession agreement regarding the operating rights of a natural gas power plant with an installed capacity of 50 MW in the Republic of Congo. With its geographical diversity strategy, Aksa Energy continues its investments in all geographies that need energy abroad.
Following its successful investments in Africa, Aksa Energy entered Asia with Uzbekistan investment. Aksa Energy continues to diversify its portfolio geographically with Tashkent and Bukhara natural gas combined cycle power plants which will have a total installed capacity of 740 MW.
In 2018, Aksa Energy signed a power purchase agreement with Societe Jiro Sy Rano Malagasy (Jirama) for the rehabilitation and operation of a 24 MW power plant located next to Madagascar Heavy Fuel Oil Power Plant. According to the agreement, electricity generated by the power plant is being sold to Jirama via guaranteed sales in US dollars.
In 2015, Aksa Energy signed a power purchase agreement with the government of the Republic of Ghana for the guaranteed sale of electricity for a duration of 6.5 years with a tariff based on US dollars.
On 21 January 2021, Aksa Enerji Üretim A.Ş.’s 100% subsidiary Aksa Energy Company Congo has signed a concession agreement with Republic of Congo about obtaining operating rights of a 50 MW natural gas power plant in the city of Pointe-Noire. Natural gas is expected to be supplied from Congo’s local gas reserves.

Before we proceed directly to the main subject, it will be better to understand what exactly the solar azimuth anglemeans. The solar azimuth angle for solar panels is the angle between the north and the sun wit. . Solar panels absorb the falling sunlightand convert it into electricity. To have maximum solar p. . The sun’s position in the sky changes hourly as well as monthly. With that, solar energy received per unit area per unit time—i.e., solar irradiance—also changes. For a particular l. . There are two parameters in deciding the direction of solar panels: direction and tilt angle. The azimuth angle decides the direction of solar panels, whereas the elevation angle d. [pdf]
The angle is 90° when the sun is east of panels. And it is 180° and 270° for the south and west. The sun rises from the east, so in the morning the azimuth angle will be around 90°. As the day processes, the angle increases or decreases depending upon the latitude and longitude of the location.
Also, the impact of the azimuth angle of solar panels on power production decreases as we move toward the equator. It is because the tilt angle of panels becomes very small near the equator. As a result, panels are inclined almost flat, and the direction of panels becomes less relevant.
You can use SolarSena’s azimuth angle calculator to find the azimuth angle of your location. For example, if your azimuth angle is 160°, as per the previous table, the south direction is the best direction for you. We also have to account for monthly variation in the azimuth angle before selecting the optimal angle.
For regions that are closer to the equator (e,g., Hawaii, Macapa,) the azimuth angle changes drastically. It is difficult to decide the optimal angle for these regions by looking at the graph. Rather sticking to the rule of thumb is advisable. For example, Hawaii is in the northern hemisphere, so the optimal direction is south.
