WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY?

Solar energy is a type of energy obtained by using the light and heat energy from the sun. Solar energy is captured through technologies such as solar panels or photovoltaic (PV) cells and can be used as electrical energy, heat, or mechanical energy.

Solar energy is a sustainable energy source because sunlight is infinite and does not produce harmful emissions or waste. Additionally, solar energy can be used for various applications such as electricity and heat, making it a widespread energy source in homes, businesses, and industries.

The use of solar energy is rapidly increasing worldwide and has the potential to meet a significant portion of future energy demand.

WHY IS SOLAR ENERGY IMPORTANT?

The limited nature of energy sources on Earth and their potential harm to the environment has led to increasing interest and demand for renewable energy sources. Today, sustainable sources such as solar and wind power are widely used as alternatives to fossil fuels that disrupt nature's balance. Solar energy, as a primary and clean renewable energy source, is commonly used in agriculture, business, heating, and technology.

In Turkey, solar energy is the first energy source that comes to mind when renewable energy sources are mentioned. Due to its geographical location, solar energy is one of the most commonly applied renewable energy sources in Turkey since it is suitable for receiving solar energy for most of the year.

As Elektroiz, we support our team's experience with R&D efforts for a sustainable future. By using the advantages of technology, we develop professional solutions for Solar Energy Systems, leading Turkey's energy revolution for your business.

HOW IS SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCED?

Solar energy, defined as radiation energy released by the fusion process in the sun's core, is converted into electrical energy using special technologies. The energy transfer of photons inside the panels used in solar energy systems produces electricity. When producing electricity from solar energy, photovoltaic cells are used. These cells convert the incoming energy into electrical energy.

WHAT IS A SOLAR PANEL?

Solar panels (photovoltaic cells) are the basic component for producing electricity in solar energy systems. When sunlight hits the panel, the photovoltaic cells absorb the light and convert it into electricity. We need to convert the resulting DC voltage to AC voltage. Converters are used for this purpose. Then, the movement of electrons begins through the silicon. When the electrons move, we obtain a current that flows in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons. The flow of current begins when the electrons are captured by the nodes.

The solar cables in your panels transmit the DC voltage electricity to the inverter, allowing you to obtain AC electricity that can be distributed to the grid or used in homes. Request a preliminary assessment from our expert team for installation in your solar energy projects:

HOW TO INSTALL A SOLAR POWER PLANT?

ELEKTROIZ carries out your solar energy system projects with the following stages:

1)    Exploration and Project Design: First, a detailed project design is made, including where the solar power plant will be installed and how it will operate. Many factors are taken into account during this stage, such as the number and positioning of solar panels, energy storage systems, inverters, and other equipment.

2)    Obtaining Permits: Various permits are required for the installation of a solar power plant. These include construction permits, environmental permits, and permits from electricity distribution companies. Obtaining these permits is an important step for the installation of a solar power plant.

3)    Site Preparation: Suitable ground preparation must be made at the location where the solar power plant will be installed. During this stage, the area is cleaned, flattened, and a suitable foundation is built.

4)    Installation of Solar Panels: The solar panels are placed in the designated area. Special mounting systems are used for the installation of the panels.

5)    Electrical Connections: The solar panels are connected to inverters and energy storage systems. During this stage, DC connections are made between solar panels, and AC connections are made between inverters and energy storage systems.

6)    Testing and Commissioning: All components of the solar power plant are tested and commissioned. Tests are carried out to ensure that the entire system is working correctly.

7)    Maintenance and Repair: Solar power plants require regular maintenance and repair. During this stage, regular maintenance is carried out, and faults are fixed.
 

HOW IS EXPLORATION DONE IN SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM INSTALLATION?

To install a solar energy system, first, an exploration is necessary to determine how much power the solar energy system will produce. Exploration is necessary for sizing and positioning the solar energy system to be installed.

ELEKTROIZ's expert team evaluates topics such as how long sunlight falls on the installation site, identification of suitable areas for solar energy panel installation, and how to place the panels during the exploration for the solar energy system.

In addition, during the exploration, our expert team determines details such as the energy requirements of the system, the number of solar panels, and the requirements for inverters and batteries. It is also important to identify the areas necessary for the maintenance and repair of solar energy systems during exploration.

During the exploration, ELEKTROIZ expert teams also identify unsuitable areas for solar energy system installation and carry out technical measurements for suitable areas. Ultimately, an exploration report is prepared, including the necessary materials for the solar energy system, installation costs, required procedures, installation schedule, and other details.

Exploration is an important step for the installation of a solar energy system, and making the correct exploration ensures that the solar energy system is installed efficiently and effectively.
