Nearly every third house has panels, but we don't feed back to the grid - the idiotic local authority lost the plot here and wanted to charge an enormous fee for a feedback meter.
All you had to do was westernize your economy, hand your infrastructure to global capital, and open your markets
Do that, and just like Syria, you'll become "partners"
Turkiye not China in this case.
Turkiye has a large PV fabrication industry as well [0][1][2][3] and it's Turkish companies that are leading reconstruction with Qatari, Saudi, and Emirati capital [4].
The Turkish company selected for most of these projects (Kalyon Group) is also in the PV fabrication business [3] and Erdogan aligned.

Not sure if you're referring to Syria or Iran, but the article explictly states that the solar in Syria is coming from China:
"Syria’s high level of solar panels reflects the combination of a broken-down grid during its long civil war, and the sudden rush of cheap China-made panels and batteries."

Or repeatedly elect ex-Irgun and Lehi terrorist leaders into the highest positions of government.
Or just Winston Churchill the hell out of it and be proud of your past crimes.
etc etc
But yes, generally westernizing works out better for all concerned.
Iran is trying to build grid on atomic powerplants, because solar is frankly not enough nor reliable!
