Özet:

 Purpose: The primary objective of this research is to assess the viability and effectiveness of solar energy in rural areas, with a specific focus on Tehsil Saleh Pat, Goth Gagrawara, District Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan. The study aims to understand the perception of the community towards a solar installation and delve into their opinions. Additionally, the research aims to investigate the energy usage patterns in rural regions, exploring both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of solar projects. Methodology: The study employed a comprehensive approach, involving interviews and observations in Tehsil Saleh Pat, Goth Gagrawara. Both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of solar projects were consulted, and specific attention was given to the opinions of women in the village. Data collection also extended to evaluating the performance of an existing solar power facility in Gagrawara, Sindh, boasting an 8.6 kW power rating. The research included the analysis of extensive data on the solar systems performance and weather conditions over the years. Findings: The findings of the research shed light on the commnitys perception of solar energy in rural areas, their opinions on specific solar installations, and the nuances of energy usage patterns. The study also presents an evaluation of the performance of the 8.6 kW solar power facility in Gagrawara, Sindh, providing valuable insights for the solar energy company operating in the region. Originality: This research contributes to the originality of the field by providing a focused examination of the practical application and perception of solar energy in rural Sindh. The inclusion of community opinions, particularly those of women, adds a unique dimension to the study. Furthermore, the assessment of an existing solar power facilitys performance contributes valuable, real-world data to the solar energy sector.

 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Tehsil Saleh Pat, Goth Gagrawara, Sukkur Bölgesi, Sindh, Pakistana özel olarak odaklanarak kırsal alanlarda güneş enerjisinin uygulanabilirliğini ve etkinliğini değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, toplumun güneş enerjisi kurulumuna yönelik algısını anlamayı ve görüşlerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca araştırma, kırsal bölgelerdeki enerji kullanım modellerini araştırmayı, güneş enerjisi projelerinden hem faydalananları hem de faydalanmayanları keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışma Tehsil Saleh Pat, Goth Gagrawaradaki röportajları ve gözlemleri içeren kapsamlı bir yaklaşım kullandı. Güneş enerjisi projelerinden hem faydalanan hem de faydalanmayanlara danışıldı ve köydeki kadınların görüşlerine özel önem verildi. Veri toplama aynı zamanda Gagrawara, Sindhde 8,6 kW güç derecesine sahip mevcut bir güneş enerjisi tesisinin performansının değerlendirilmesini de kapsayacak şekilde genişletildi. Araştırma, güneş sisteminin performansı ve yıllar içindeki hava koşulları hakkında kapsamlı verilerin analizini içeriyordu. Bulgular: Araştırmanın bulguları, toplumun kırsal alanlardaki güneş enerjisi algısına, belirli güneş enerjisi tesislerine ilişkin görüşlerine ve enerji kullanım kalıplarındaki nüanslara ışık tutuyor. Çalışma aynı zamanda Gagrawara, Sindhdeki 8,6 kWlık güneş enerjisi tesisinin performansına ilişkin bir değerlendirme sunarak bölgede faaliyet gösteren güneş enerjisi şirketine değerli bilgiler sağlıyor. Özgünlük: Bu araştırma, kırsal Sindhde güneş enerjisinin pratik uygulaması ve algısına odaklı bir inceleme sağlayarak alanın özgünlüğüne katkıda bulunmaktadır. Toplumun, özellikle de kadınların görüşlerinin yer alması, çalışmaya özgün bir boyut katıyor. Ayrıca mevcut bir güneş enerjisi tesisinin performansının değerlendirilmesi, güneş enerjisi sektörüne değerli, gerçek dünya verilerine katkıda bulunur.
