Research has shown thatlife span of 200 years of coal, 40 years of oil and 60 years of natural gas.Therefore, it is foreseen that fossil fuels will not be able to respond to theincrease in energy needs and will fall behind energy consumption. because ofthis reason, it has been considere important to search for new energy sourcesto prevent future energy crises. Today, it can be said that this searchingmostly focuses on renewable energy sources.Research suggests that renewableenergy will constitute approximately 40% of total energy in the future.Although the importance of hydroelectric and wind energy from renewable energysources has been understood much earlier, it is seen that the importance ofsolar energy has been realized in recent years. It is estimated that thehighest increase in renewable energy sources between 2012 and 2040 inelectricity generation will be in solar energy. Based on the years 2010 and2018, while in 2010 was obtained 40,871 MW energy from the solar and 180,854 MWenergy from the wind, but in 2018 was obtained 485,826 MW energy from the solarand 563,726 MW energy from the wind. According to these results, the energyobtained from the solar has increased approximately 12 times in the last nineyears, while the energy obtained from the wind has increased approximately 4times.
