Design and Simulation of a Solar Powered House in Muğla: Roof Decorated with Half Cut Cells

Abstract

In this article, the performance, design and efficiency calculation of photovoltaic systems were made using PvSol program. For roof type panel design close to standard installations, panel position and panel type were designed based on Muğla province sun hour data and roof shading factor. In this study, the data obtained for the roof type installation designed in Muğla city using monocrystalline, polycrystalline and half-cut monocrystalline cells were compared. When yield, area and price parameters were compared, it was found that the best cell type was half-section monocrystalline. As a result of the simulations, it was found that the average daily energy need of the house is 6.4kWh, fed by 14 half-section monocrystalline panels. The results obtained are consistent with the data in the literature.

Muğla'da Güneş Enerjili Bir Evin Tasarımı ve Simülasyonu: Yarım Kesim Hücrelerle Kaplanmış Çatı

Öz

Bu makalede, fotovoltaik sistemlerin performansı, tasarımı ve verim hesabı, Muğla’da bulunan bir ev için, PvSol programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Standart kurulumlara yakın çatı tipi panel dizaynı için, panel konumunu ve panel çeşidini Muğla ili güneşlenme saat verilerine ve çatı gölgelenme faktörüne dayalı olarak tasarlanmıştır. Yapılmış olan çalışmada, monokristal, polikristal ve yarım-kesim monokristal hücreler kullanılarak tasarlanan çatı tipi kurulum için elde edilen veriler karşılaştırılmıştır. Verim, alan, fiyat parametreleri karşılaştırıldığında en iyi hücre çeşidinin yarım-kesim monokristal olduğu bulunmuştur. Yapılan simülasyonlar sonucunda, evin ortalama günlük 6.4kWh’lık enerji ihtiyacının 14 adet yarım-kesim monokristal panel ile elde edileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar literatürdeki verilerle örtüşmektedir.
