“…In addition, the PR of rooftop PV systems were between 60% and 93.3%, and specific yields ranged between 812.76 kWh/kWp/year and 1802kWh/kWp/year, in Poland (Pietruszko & Gradzki, 2003), Northern Ireland (Mondol, Yohanis, Smyth, & Norton, 2006), the island of Crete (Kymakis, Kalykakis, & Papazoglou, 2009), Dublin (Ayompe, Duffy, McCormack, & Conlon, 2011), Muğla, Turkey (Eke & Demircan, 2013), Durban, South Africa (Ebhota & Tabakov, 2021), Malaysia (Farhoodnea et al, 2015;Humada et al, 2016), Sohar, Oman (Kazem et al, 2014, Norway (Adaramola, 2015;Adaramola & Vågnes, 2015), Algeria (Cherfa et al, 2015;Dabou et al, 2016), Serbia (Milosavljević et al, 2015), Morocco (Attari et al, 2016), Portland, India (Dondariya et al, 2018;Yadav & Bajpai, 2018), Kuwait (Al-Otaibi, Al-Qattan, Fairouz, & Al-Mulla, 2015) and Singapore (Wittkopf, Valliappan, Liu, Ang, & Cheng, 2012). In addition, there are many studies evaluating the economic and environmental performance of PV systems (Datta, Kalam, & Shi, 2020;Njoku & Omeke, 2020;Rughoo & Ramasesha, 2020;Tırmıkçı & Yavuz, 2020).…”

A 30 kWp rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant was modelled using energy balance equations, 3-year energy production and its economic return is calculated according to the feed-in tariff agreement. Electricity production was calculated on an hourly basis, and the actual results and simulation results were closely compatible. The system generated 45.35 MWh, 47.05 MWh and 46.34 MWh of energy in year 1, 2 and 3, respectively. It has been observed that the performance ratio of the PV system varies between 84.50 % and 90.27 %, while the capacity factor varies between 17.26 % and 17.63%. While 93.90 MWh of electrical energy has been injected into the grid over a 3-year period, 46.40 MWh of energy has been taken from the grid. The price of electricity injected and consumed was calculated according to the FIT conditions at the time the system was installed, and the payback period was calculated as approximately 6 years.
