Abstract

This paper describes installation and analysis of
photovoltaic system (PV) which has been installed in Soke/Aydin, Turkey.
Generally, the PV systems are installed on roof according to inclination of
roof as well north facade. Therefore, large losses occur. In order to minimize
losses, for the first time in Turkey the PV panels were placed both on North
and South facade with 15 and 10 degree angle to the South, contrary to
traditional roof installed PV systems. In this way it was determined that
efficiency of PV panels especially the ones that are positioned at North facade
were increased by 10%. The simulation of the system was done using different
sun irradiation sources such as Geomodel, Meteocontrol, Meteonom and PVGIS. The
total DC power of the system is 155.3 kWp. Annual electricity production amount
and performance ratio was calculated as 243 MWh and 80.9% respectively for the
first year. The uncertainty of the models and calculation steps with respect to
the average specific yield and average yield is estimated to be ± 7.1% assuming
a simple standard deviation. The PV system has produced 50.522 kWh energy from
January to April, 2014.
