Nowadays, fossil fuels are used too much in order to produce energy so the global warming and pollution effects the vital activities of humanity negatively. Therefore, the clean energy production and transmission for industry and daily life is the biggest problem. Photovoltaic systems are one of the most remarkable renewable and clean technology that provide to generate electric energy from the infinite solar source. |
What is the Meaning of Photovoltaics?
Although the solar energy potential of Turkey is very high, investments of solar energy is significantly unsatisfying when it compared to the other European countries such as Germany, Spain and Czech Republic, that has very big investments in solar energy. However, Turkey has solar energy potential that 380 kWh/year electric energy can be produced by the sun. The below graph (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) compared the solarisation time of Turkey and the countries that has big solar energy investment .Photovoltaic solar cells convert solar energy to DC electric energy when the sun lights fall on the cells by using semi permeable materials such as silicon, Gallium, Arsenide, cadmium, telluride or cooper indium diselenid. The surfaces of the crystalline solar cells are generally square, rectangle, circle. The area of the cells are around 100 / 156 / 243 cm2 and the thickness is between 0,2 and 0,4 mm. Moreover, the several desired dimension of thin film cells be applied on the surfaces. The efficiency of solar cells are between 5% and 20% depending on the of solar cells. However, 0.5 Volt of cells does not very well practically so the cells are connected in series in order to get more voltage for the system.
