Abstract
Sustainable cities become more popular in recent years, due to increasing amount of people who demand to live in communities which are environmentally, socially and economically resilient. Especially, in a world, where natural sources are at the edge of depletion and the threat of greenhouse gas emissions ecomes undeniable, setting sustainability goals for communities plays a vital role. Providing cheap, accessible, clean and reliable energy for the inhabitants of cities by using renewable sources is the key to create sustainable communities. This paper focuses on roof-top integrated photovoltaic systems which are installed and operated by end-users to meet the needs of power in cities. A case study is conducted in Istanbul to make financial assessments in order to find out whether it is worth for investing such technologies. The results and discussions reveal that despite environmental benefits, the payback period of such systems is too high for an investor, which leads to the fact that additional incentives must be provided by the Turkish government.

Abstract
Çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik açıdan esnekliği olan
topluluklar içinde yaşamak isteyen nüfus gün geçtikçe artmakta ve bu sebeple sürdürülebilir
şehirler son zamanlarda daha popüler olmaktadır. Özellikle, doğal kaynakların
tükenme sınırında olduğu ve sera gazı salınımının inkâr edilemez bir tehdit
haline dönüştüğü yerlerde, topluluklar için sürdürülebilirlik hedefleri
oluşturulması hayati önem taşımaktadır. Şehir nüfusu için sürdürülebilir
topluluklar yaratılmasının anahtarı yenilenebilir kaynaklar kullanılarak ucuz,
ulaşılabilir, temiz ve güvenilir enerji sağlanmasıdır. Bu çalışma, belirtilen
amaçlar doğrultusunda şehirlerdeki enerji ihtiyacını karşılamak üzere son
kullanıcı tarafından kurulan ve kullanılan, çatıya entegre edilerek ışığa maruz
kaldığında elektrik üreten fotovoltaik sistemlere odaklanmaktadır. Çalışmada,
bu teknolojilere yatırım yapılmasının gerekliliğini ölçmek amacıyla İstanbul’da
bir gerçek hayat çalışması yürütülerek finansal değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.
Elde edilen sonuçlar, çevresel faydalarına rağmen ilgili sistemin geri ödeme
periyodunun yatırımcı açısından uzunluğunu ortaya çıkarmış ve hükümet
tarafından ek teşviklerin sağlanması gerekliliğini vurgulamıştır.
