Design of 1 MW photovoltaic energy system in Batman

In this study, prelimary desing was realized for 1 MWp photovoltaic power plant in Batman province with the help of measured sun radiation data and package software and analysis of the performance values obtained from the system was conducted. In system performance evaluation PVsyst package software was preferred. Sun radiation measurements were made instantly with the help of pyranometer. Module preference foreseen in the system was single crystal silicium. Sun radiation values were integrated into package software and system components were selected so as to compare the monthly performance values to be obtained from the system. System analyses were conducted on monthly basis in two stages (module placement setting with constant slope and with various slope). As a result of the analyses it was determined that module slope optimization on monthly basis increase the system performance.
