Solar Energy
The world's energy profile is constantly changing and evolving. The limited reserves of oil and its derivatives, along with social and environmental factors, play a significant role in the rising interest in renewable energy sources. On the other hand, Turkey's dependence on foreign energy imports and the increasing global demand for energy are accelerating investments in the renewable energy sector. These changes in the energy sector create various opportunities, but also risks for both established and new companies in the sector.
Solar energy technology is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Its technical name is Photovoltaic: a term formed from the combination of the words "photo," representing light, and "voltaic," representing electrical voltage. It is abbreviated as PV or FV, but is more commonly referred to as Solar Energy or simply Solar Power.
In photovoltaic (solar energy) technology, photons from the sun serve as the energy source. Photons are energetic particles that carry the light that reaches our Earth from the sun every day. When these photons strike surfaces called solar panels, which contain components called solar energy cells, they cause an electrical voltage to be generated. This generates electricity. Solar cells are made from silicon, which is essentially found in the earth and is also used in the production of components that make up electronic circuits. Silicon, the second most abundant element on the planet after oxygen, is a semiconductor. During the production of photovoltaic cells, two layers called p-type and n-type silicon are created.
Solar energy production based on photovoltaic (PV) systems will play a significant role in meeting the energy needs of today and tomorrow due to its economic and clean energy properties. Photovoltaic (PV) systems have several advantages. They can perform better than traditional coal and natural gas sources, especially in situations where electricity production and consumption occur in the same location.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems, due to their scalability, can be installed on a house roof or as a large grid-scale power plant across large areas. This feature eliminates the need to transport generated electricity from one end of the country to the other, thus reducing expensive infrastructure investments and high maintenance costs. Furthermore, compared to other renewable energy sources like wind and hydro, annual production figures for photovoltaic (PV) systems are much more predictable.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems have no disruptive effect on natural resources and do not create noise pollution in nature. Therefore, photovoltaic (PV) systems are an expression of respect for the environment, humanity, and the future.
Benefits of Solar Energy
You will have protected nature.
By generating your electricity from solar power, you prevent the irreversible environmental damage caused by energy sources other than solar power. Taking on this social responsibility also significantly improves your/your company's image.
You use electricity for free.
You no longer need to pay for electricity. You can use electricity freely.
You earn money.
With solar energy systems, you can earn money by selling the electricity you generate to the grid. When you're not using the electricity you produce, the process happens automatically, and your system generates income for you on its own.
You will not be affected by electricity price increases.
Electricity prices are increasing every day, and unfortunately, this trend will continue. But now, these price increases won't affect you at all.
You will have a building energy management system.
Furthermore, if you purchase your solar energy system from SOLAR PARTNER, you also gain access to a building energy management system infrastructure that allows you to monitor and manage your building's energy production and consumption.
