Abstract :
People are prefering to renewable energy sources, due to the rapidly increasing demand for energy today. The most basic renewable energy source is sun. Basically, photovoltaic systems, thermal systems and concentrated solar power systems generate energy from the sun. The efficiency and output potential of these technologies are computed based on the solar radiation values, despite the fact that their operating principles differ from one another. For this reason, it`s critical to have accurate knowledge about solar radiation while designing solar energy systems. Solar radiation varies depending on date, location, time of day and climate. By using measuring equipment, meteorology stations instantly, hourly, and daily record these variables. But not all places have measurement stations because the equipment is expensive. Utilizing the chosen parameters, solar radiation values are calculated. There are variety of mathematical methods used to calculate solar radiation values. The determination of the region-specific equation coefficients is necessary to improve the accuracy of the results. Long-time meteorological and geographical data of the region are used in the calculation of these coefficients. Scientific research is used to support the precision of these calculations. All commercial and academic inquiries use data on solar radiation in order to take use of solar energy in the field of renewable energy. The information about the region`s solar radiation must be understood before a solar power plant may be erected there. Using solar radiation information, the energy production potential can be determined. With the software developed within the content of this study, radiation values of the selected region are calculated and visual outputs of these values are presented. In addition, with the solar power plant feasibility report, design parameters, characteristics of materials, site information, company information, system cost, return on investment, energy production of the system and losses in the system can be calculated. In this manner, the user can assess the area`s solar radiation values and decide whether it is suitable for using solar energy.
