Abstract

Energy is one of the most necessary and fundamental needs for human beings to continue their lives. Solar energy, which is one of the most important renewable energy sources, has great energy potential in our country with its long radiation duration and radiation amount.
The primary thing to do in solar power plant (SPP) installation is to analyze the climatic characteristics of the region. Therefore, having and analyzing the meteorological data of the region has important advantages for the solar power plant to be established. The importance of solar radiation data in the installation of a solar power plant in a region is directly proportional to the payback period of the plant under normal conditions. In this study, a 1 MW SPP feasibility study was conducted in Besni district of Adıyaman province. Depending on the energy potential of the regions, it is calculated that the payback period is between 2-5.7 years for Adıyaman province. Considering the state's electricity pricing, it is seen that the payback period in the industry is about 2 years, while it has a period of 5.7 years for house installation.
SPP is analyzed in the light of solar radiation data in the Adıyaman region which will be a pioneer for future studies thanks to the depreciation period as well as analyses performed. In addition to these, the parameters to be considered during the SPP installation stages will be specified in detail.
