Summary/Abstract: In recent years, it is observed that there have been collaborative structures in various sectors offering the same kind of service or product. These cooperative structures play an important role in creating cost advantage and increasing competitiveness as it is stated in the definition of clustering. In order to understand the advantageous structure of the region, the aim of this study is to determine the clustering levels of enterprises operating in the solar energy systems sector of the Western Mediterranean region. In the study, the existing structure and clustering levels of the enterprises in the sector were determined by using face to face survey method. The sample of this study, which was prepared by using survey method, consists of 44 enterprises operating in solar energy systems sector. Using the result of analysis, the clustering levels of the enterprises have been determined and these clustering levels have been compared. In the research, it has been concluded that the total cluster scores of the enterprises have been highly clustered in 28 enterprises and 16 enterprises have been clustered at medium level.
