Solar Energy Systems

Solar energy systems are the ones with the lowest maintenance costs of solar power plant among today’s power plants compared to other power plant types. For buildings with roof use such as factories, logistics companies and warehouses, the fact that the electricity to be produced on the roof transmits electricity without any loss, increases the quality of the energy used and can prevent the high electricity prices that the business owners pay. For this purpose, the design of the solar energy system to be established, the quality of the material used, the experience of the solar energy company that will install the solar power plant, and the reliability, financial strength and ability of the company to complete the work have an important place. According to the average sunshine hours in our country, it is possible to obtain 240 thousand to 260 thousand kWh of energy. The financial return of this is around $34 thousand per year. In other words, for a business with a roof of 1000 m2; If the direction and static compatibility of the roof are provided, it is possible to earn an average of $34 thousand per year. It is also possible for investors who do not consume this amount of electricity in their business, to sell the electricity produced to the grid for 10 years with a state guarantee. SOLAR COLLECTORS One of the hot water preparation methods is the solar energy system. It is a system that can amortize the initial cost expenses in a short time. It is easy to use. There is no fuel requirement and no electricity requirement if it is a pumpless system. The solar hot water preparation system has three basic elements. – Solar collector. – Storage tank. – Pipe network. The collector is used to pass the rays from the sun to the water to be used. The collector is matt black (black body acceptance theory) and covered with a glass layer. Sealing must be provided between the glass and the collector. There are channels in the collector through which the water circulates. These channels are made of copper or aluminum material that can absorb heat. When mounting the collector, it is mounted to the roof with triton screws with profile feet. The storage tank should be made of stainless material and well insulated. The pipe network consists of connections between the collector and the storage tank. It should be insulated against heat losses. Pipes should be as short as possible and without elbows. Plastic or galvanized pipes should never be used. Instead of these, copper pipes should be used.
