Özet:

 Electricity generation from solar energy through photovoltaic systems has attracted significant attention both globally and in Turkey, leading to the establishment of solar power plants for electricity production. In this study, the design, performance analysis, and economic evaluation of a rooftop solar power plant for the Faculty of Engineering building at Sivas Cumhuriyet University were conducted. The buildings suitable for the installation of solar power plants were examined, and studies were carried out on the appropriate roof area using PVsyst and Helioscope software. The results obtained were then compared. The proposed solar power plant was planned to meet the electricity demand of the Faculty of Engineering building at Sivas Cumhuriyet University. The number of PV modules was calculated as 624, with a total power generation capacity of 343 KWp. The total energy production of the plant in its first year was estimated to be 506.101 KWh. The production forecasts derived from Helioscope and PVsyst software were analyzed using current electricity prices and the Regulation on Unlicensed Electricity Generation in the Electricity Market. Based on 2025 market prices and a market analysis, the cost of the solar power plant installation was calculated to be 122.480  VAT, with annual operating expenses estimated at 1.400. Assuming a lifespan of 25 years for the plant, the analyses and calculations indicated that the investment would pay off in 2 years and 7 months.

 Fotovoltaik sistemler aracılığıyla güneş enerjisinden elektrik üretimi hem dünyada hem de Türkiyede büyük bir ilgi görmektedir ve güneşten elektrik üretimi yapılabilmesi için güneş enerji santralleri kurulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi binasına çatı tipi güneş enerji santralinin tasarımı, performans incelenmesi ve ekonomik analizi yapılmıştır. Güneş enerji santrali kurulacak binalar incelenmiş, uygun çatı alanına PVsyst ve Helioscope programları aracılığıyla çalışmalar yapılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır. Kurulması düşünülen güneş enerji santrali Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi binasının elektrik ihtiyacını karşılayabilecek şekilde planlanmıştır. PV modül sayısı 624 ve panellerin üreteceği güç 343 KWp olarak hesaplanmıştır. Santralin ilk yılda üreteceği toplam enerji miktarı 506.101 KWhdır. Santralin Helioscope ve PVsyst programları kullanılarak elde edilen üretim öngörüleri, güncel elektrik fiyatları ve Elektrik Piyasasında Lisanssız Elektrik Üretim Yönetmeliği kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Tesis kurulumu için, 2025 yılı piyasa fiyatı göz önüne alındığında ve pazar araştırması yapıldığında güneş enerjisi santralinin maliyetinin 122.480   KDV olarak ve yıllık işletme giderlerinin de 1.400  olduğu hesaplanmıştır. Kurulacak olan santralin ömrünün 25 sene olduğu varsayılmış, gerekli analizler ve hesaplamalar sonucunda 2 yıl 7 ayda amorti edebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
