“…Still, the difference between 25 • and 30 • is practically negligible in peninsular cases. This behavior is perfectly described by means of a second-degree polynomial equation with a maximum of around 30º, as can be seen in Equations (11)(12)(13)(14). In Lanzarote (Canary Islands), which is in a considerably more southern location, the variation in production with inclination is very small, and only gains are achieved compared to 10 • of less than 3%.…”

“…Since the building sector has emerged as a significant energy consumer, governments worldwide have introduced various policies. The utilization of solar energy conversion systems is at the forefront of attention [11]. PV self-consumption systems at the residential or small business level can be designed to reduce electricity consumption from the conventional local grid and achieve competitiveness with grid electricity prices.…”

This article has been developed to assess the economic feasibility of a rooftop photovoltaic installation of industrial self-consumption. Numerical models that enable an interested person to obtain the main expected parameters will be generated, with those models being the article’s main contribution to the field. To do this, a calculation methodology will be developed through which the reader, knowing the location of the facility and dimensions of the roof, will be able to calculate the maximum installable power, the main parameters related to production, the cost of the installation, and the LCOE of the plant. The use of actual costs will be facilitated in case they are known. Still, it will remain possible to apply the major equipment costs (modules, inverter, and structure) considered throughout the article. This developed calculation methodology will also allow a quick comparison of the forecasts of production, CAPEX, and LCOE of plants designed with different inclinations and different types of modules. Consequently, it will be especially useful in decision-making before developing the plant’s basic engineering. Moreover, the calculations used for modeling the LCOE will be analyzed in depth. This analysis will allow evaluating how the different technical variables affect the profitability of a photovoltaic installation, such as the selected tilt, the location, the module’s technology, or the available area.

“…The SunSPoT tool provides a 2.5 dimension PV rooftop assessment capability that is user intuitive at both an urban and building level scale. The tool was found to have a similar calculation output when compared against detailed PVSYST solar simulation software (Odeh and Nguyen, 2021). Its functionality extends beyond PV potential outputs and compliments a suite of Australian PV mapping and tracking tools (https://pv-map.apvi.…”

Planning for sustainable neighborhoods is a high priority for many cities. It is therefore important to take the right decisions during the planning phase to ensure that important aspects are considered. One of these important aspects is to consider the harvesting of solar energy in the best possible way. It is however difficult to define the best ways to exploit the incoming solar energy. Solar energy can be used by means of active solar energy production, passively by means of daylighting buildings or outside buildings on the ground for direct solar access or thermal comfort. This different usage can sometimes be conflicting (for example at a building level, in order to maximize the photovoltaic production, it may be necessary to use all the surfaces, therefore preventing the access to daylight). The access to daylight in the street is appreciated during cold days, but shading is preferred during the hotter days.

“…Bu çalışmada literatüre çatı uygunluk faktörü sunularak yeni bir yaklaşım geliştirilmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışmada yerleşim bölgesinde bulunan evlerin çatılarına kurulacak FV santrallerle bu bölgenin bütün enerji ihtiyacının karşılanabileceği ve şebekeden enerji talebinin sıfırlanmasıyla, sıfır karbon emisyonlu bölgeler kurulabileceği vurgulanmıştır [22]. GES'lerinin performasını artırmak için güneş takip sistemleri de kullanılmaktadır.…”

Photovoltaic (PV) power plants, which are one of the most important renewable energy sources, provide great opportunities in terms of clean energy, due to their almost zero harmful environmental impact and relatively easy installation, considering the solar potential of our country. In addition, the government supports offered within the scope of the Renewable Energy Resources Support Mechanism (YEKDEM) offers great opportunities to bring renewable energy resources into the economy. According to the projection made in the annual program of the Presidency of our country, an increase of 1000 MW is expected in the amount of electricity produced from solar power plants in 2022. In addition, the share of electricity produced by solar energy in the total production is expected to be 8.5%. In this study; the design and simulation application of a rooftop, grid-connected distributed solar power plant with a capacity of 1MWp was presented through the PVsyst program. In the study, it was seen that the panel slope, the right PV module, and inverter selection are extremely important. The annual amount of energy that can be supplied to the grid has been obtained as 1246 MWh. In the simulation studies, it was emphasized that such a facility, which was established compared to a power plant with equivalent energy production, would contribute positively to the impact of climate change by not emitting 14000 tons of Co2. It has been observed that revenue of 4,485,600 ₺ can be obtained from such a newly established facility for the first ten-year period with a fixed fee purchase guarantee with the domestic contribution. Considering that the life of the power plant will be 25 years, it can be said that the facility investment will be extremely advantageous even without YEKDEM support.
