Design and simulation of on-grid solar energy systems for Çankırı Karatekin University Uluyazı campus buildings

While the climate crisis has led people to seek ways to produce energy from renewable energy sources, the increasing energy need with the rapidly increasing demands after Covid19 and the tension between Ukraine and Russia has increased the need for energy. When it comes to renewable energy, the first thing that comes to mind is undoubtedly solar energy. It is possible to produce electricity directly from the sun using photovoltaic cells. These systems must be carefully designed and simulated before they are installed. Simple mistakes can cause systems to malfunction and even damage some components. In this study, it is aimed to calculate the minimum amount of energy that can be transferred to the grid with grid-connected SPP installations to be built in five different buildings in Çankırı Karatekin University Uluyazı Campus using the PVsyst program. In this way, it has been found that the installation to be made on the roof of the Faculty of Engineering will transfer a minimum of 116.5 MWh energy per year with the installation to be made by changing the distance between the panel arrays. Finally, when the installations on the roofs of the Çankırı Karatekin University Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Letters, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences are considered together, it has been revealed that these systems connected to the grid with an installed power of 481 kWp can transmit 737 MWh of electrical energy annually
