Solar energy systems, which provide electricity from the sun, one of the renewable energy resources, fulfill these functions by using solar panels and inverters. Silicon cells convert the heat and light from the sun into electrical energy and enable them to be used in areas where they are needed. These systems can be installed to meet the energy needs of industry and residences, as well as to produce and trade energy only. When installing the system, the region and seasonal conditions should be taken into consideration.

The energy, which is produced in a cleaner and lower cost compared to other energy sources without creating harmful gas emissions or waste by solar energy systems, meets the increasing energy need due to industrialization and population growth. In today's world where fossil resources are increasingly depleted, the use of renewable energy alternatives such as solar energy helps to reduce energy shortages.

With the development of technology and obtaining electricity more efficiently from solar energy, the use of solar energy is increasing.

Solar energy stands out as an efficient alternative source that can be used in almost every sector to meet energy needs. Some installation and usage areas of solar energy systems (SPP) are:

• Solar Power Plants serve as the main provider of electricity production with large facilities installed on land.
• The rooftops of buildings such as industrial facilities, factories, cold storages are suitable places to install SPP.
• Rooftop SPP are used in large areas such as storage areas, hospitals, shopping malls and fuel stations.
• It is possible to benefit from solar energy in agricultural production areas such as irrigation, drying of agricultural products, and production of the energy required for the facility.
• The electricity needs of houses are met with rooftop solar power systems.
• It can be used in residential areas where electrical energy is not accessible.
• Solar energy is used in areas such as street lights, traffic lights, signal lights and park lighting.
• Products such as calculators and wristwatches have been powered by solar energy for many years.

We can simply list the advantages of using solar energy as follows:

Solar Energy does not emit greenhouse gases. Apart from the emissions generated during the production of solar energy equipment, it does not emit any additional greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during the energy production phase, thus reducing the carbon footprint and greenhouse gases in the world.

Solar Energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas in electricity production. Most of the electricity in the world is produced from fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. Extracting and using fossil fuels is expensive, produces harmful emissions that affect air, water and soil quality, and causes serious environmental and human health problems around the world, including climate change, extreme weather events, rising sea levels and ecosystem changes. In contrast, solar energy is free and abundant.

Solar Energy provides very cheap electricity generation. Solar energy systems enable the usage of very cheap electricity to be produced using direct solar energy without incurring any additional costs beyond the initial installation and maintenance costs. Compared to energy production with fossil fuels, it provides electricity generation with very low operational costs and no need for raw materials, treatment.

Solar Energy reduces energy transmission costs thanks to distributed energy systems. Solar energy systems are self-sufficient systems that can operate independently off the grid and can be implemented with an on-site produce&consume approach. Thanks to this advantage, SPP do not need the transmission and distribution lines required to transport the produced energy from the production point to the consumption point such as oil, coal and natural gas power plants that produce electricity in large capacities centrally.

Solar Energy provides the opportunity to produce electricity independently of the grid. Solar power plants can be installed and operated directly connected to the grid or off-grid. The possibility of being independent from the grid provides an advantage in regions where there is no grid or where grid investment would be costly.

With its rapidly developing structure, the solar energy industry creates new job opportunities. There are many jobs available for the production, installation and maintenance of solar panels, the operation and monitoring of the systems installed, and the research, development and design of all this technology and their policy making.

The sun is an unlimited source of energy that can be accessed from anywhere on Earth. The sun is an unlimited resource reached from all over the world, even if the radiation amounts are different. Due to this feature, it will not be exposed to movements in the prices of fossil fuels or manipulations on prices. In addition, it is independent of many factors, as it does not require transportation from the location of the resource to the location of consumption, unlike fossil fuels. These reasons protect solar energy from the effects of policy and price fluctuations such as in fossil fuel markets. In addition, the abundant availability of solar energy will prevent wars over ownership of oil and natural gas fields.

Solar Energy does not harm natural life and ecosystem. Since there is no regular and constant need for raw materials when producing electrical energy from the sun, it does not cause the destruction of forests and ecosystems, which is an issue during the production of energy obtained from fossil fuels. In addition, since it is not a moving system, as in systems that produce energy from renewable energy sources such as wind turbines, there are no negative situations such as noise and wear.

Solar energy technologies are constantly evolving and have the potential to develop in the future. Solar energy technology is advancing rapidly, but there is still a long way to go. A technology that was expensive, cumbersome and inefficient in the past is now cheaper and more accessible, and is becoming cheaper and more available every day.

Solar Energy increases the value of your factory, workplace or home. Solar energy is one of the best ways to reduce your energy bill and increase the value of your property. While generating income from an asset equipped with solar energy, the value of the asset in question also increases.
