Assessing the Feasibility of Photovoltaic Systems in Türkiye: Technical and Economic Analysis of On-Grid, Off-Grid, and Utility-Scale PV Installations

Abstract

Fossil fuels, whereas indispensable for energy production today, pose significant environmental challenges because of their greenhouse gas emissions. As a cleaner and sustainable alternative, renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, have gained prominence worldwide. Photovoltaic (PV) systems offer an effective means of harnessing solar energy to generate electricity without harmful by-products. This technology holds great promise, especially for countries such as Türkiye, which heavily rely on fossil fuels and possess abundant solar energy potential. Thus, this study aims to assess the feasibility of PV systems in Türkiye and explore potential obstacles. To ensure a reliable and sustainable energy supply, both on-grid and off-grid PV systems are considered. The assessment was conducted by selecting 7 provinces that represent diverse geographical regions in Türkiye. The System Advisor Model (SAM), developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), was employed for the technical and economic feasibility analyses of these PV systems. The SAM simulation provides crucial technical insights, including electricity production, efficiency, and losses, with a specific focus on off-grid PV systems designed to meet regional residential energy demands utilizing solar energy. Furthermore, this study investigates the economic viability of off-grid PV systems by considering factors such as the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), levelized cost of storage (LCOS), and the net present value (NPV) of money. In addition, the concept of grid parity, which indicates when PV electricity generation becomes cost-competitive with grid electricity, is explored for the selected cities, thereby promoting PV systems as an attractive alternative to fossil fuel-based electricity generation.
