Turkey, which has immense solar potential, has recently shifted towards solar energy and new renewable energy deployment regulations, including implementation and commercializing rooftop PV technologies. Thus, these require a detailed assessment to determine the power source's capability and convince the policymakers. To the authors' best knowledge, there is no available data or a city-based study for the rooftop PV potential in Turkey. Here, we present the first city-based rooftop PV potential study in Ankara. The technical PV potential calculations are sensitive to the suitable area ratio, module efficiency, and module area assumptions. This study proposes a new, free, reliable, and open-source model for estimating the rooftop PV potential, and it is adaptable to every roof type. The suitable roof area for PV panels is calculated using Helioscope software. Five different modules with different efficiencies and module sizes are modelled in Helioscope. The results showed that Ankara's total technical PV potentials for residential, public, and commercial buildings are 1.15 TWh/year, 55 GWh/year, and 26.8 GWh/year, respectively. Best results are obtained by Mono-Si Halfcut (M2) and Thin Film (M5) modules in residentials, M2 and Mono-Si Bifacial Modules (M3) in Public and Commercial Buildings.

Seasonal variation of the monthly efficiencies of thin film PV modules
Özden, Talat; Turan, Raşit; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin (null; 2017-12-04)
Outdoor testing of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules must be carried out at different climates as PV power plants nowadays are installed and continues to be installed in many countries. Present study is outdoor testing results and analyses of 5 thin film modules in Ankara, Turkey. The analyses are carried out using monthly efficiencies of the modules that are derived using the energy yield and input. The average efficiencies of the CIS, CIGS and μc-Si/a-Si thin film modules are. We present the monthly and ave...
MONITORING, ANALYSIS, AND SIMULATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC HEAT ISLAND EFFECT IN TURKEY: SEKBANDEMIRLI SOLAR POWER PLANT FIELD STUDY
Demirezen, Emre; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Özden, Talat; Department of Earth System Science (2022-1-18)
Today, solar energy conversion technologies, which are among the methods of obtaining renewable, sustainable, and clean energy, show rapid development. One of the most common technologies is Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant (PVPP), which provides electricity by direct conversion of the energy carried by the sunlight (or daylight). These power plants are socially accepted in environmentally-friendly and economical energy production. However, there are some debates about the environmental impacts of these power...
Analytical Modelling, Simulation and Comparative Study of Multi-Junction Solar Cells Efficiency
Hadjdida, Abdelkader; Bourahla, Mohamed; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Bekhti, Mohamed (2018-12-01)
Currently, solar energy is promising the primary source of renewable energy that has a great potential to generate power for an extremely low operating cost when compared to already existing power generation technologies. Increasing the efficiency of solar cells is a major goal and the prominent factor in photovoltaic system research. Current triple junction solar cells reach 30% and the next generation will bring 35% in 5 years to peak at 40%. These cells are used in space environment and in terrestrial sy...
Determining Photovoltaic Module Performance and Comparisons
Karaveli, Abdullah Buğrahan; ÖZDEN, TALAT; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin (2018-11-14)
Knowing electricity production potential of a photovoltaic (PV) system prior to installation is very beneficial for the investor to see the feasibility of the investment. There are three procedures that can be followed to calculate the potential electricity production of any system under different conditions. These are installation of sample systems and gathering data over time, the use of some databases/software programs to reach the performances and developing new model/methodology to make these estimatio...
Dual-band perfect metamaterial absorber for solar cell applications
Rufangura, Patrick; Sabah, Cumali (2015-10-01)
The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells has been one of the major problems impeding its global adoption as one of the sustainable substitutes to fossil fuel based technologies. Metamaterial (MTM) based solar cells offer an opportunity towards increasing the system efficiency by enhancing the total absorbed solar radiation incident on this device. In this study, a nanostructure-based MTM perfect absorber has been designed and simulated. By adjusting geometrical parameters and MTM structure properties...
