Kalyon Karapınar 1.350 MWp SPP – Central Control Building functions as the primary operational and administrative hub for one of Europe’s largest solar power plants. The 2.778-square-meter facility is strategically located within the 20-square-kilometer Karapınar solar energy zone. The building’s design supports two main functions: technological management and public engagement.

Additionally, it serves as a platform for promoting sustainable energy by providing spaces for national and international conferences, educational workshops, and other events. The building includes specialized areas for events, a foyer, a multipurpose hall, and a courtyard – creating a dynamic space where technology, community, and sustainable practices converge.
