About Solimpeks
Solimpeks is a renewable heating technology manufacturer based in Konya (Turkey) with a German subsidiary in Hannover. The portfolio includes enamelled hot water storage tanks, buffer and hygienic storage tanks, solar thermal collectors and thermosiphon systems, air-source and commercial heat pumps using the refrigerant R290, as well as PV-T hybrid panels. The tanks are manufactured on an automated welding and enamelling line; collector tubes made of copper are laser-welded, and heat pump production uses CNC machining, IoT-monitored lines and collaborative robots. Materials include enamelled steel, stainless steel AISI 316L, copper and aluminium with polyurethane insulation. In addition to distributing its own products, the company offers OEM manufacturing and dealer partnerships. Since 2001, more than 600,000 solar thermal systems have been installed; customers are supplied in 96+ countries across six continents. Enamelled tanks are manufactured at the 12,000 m² production facility in Konya, expanded in 2024/2025.
