The need for energy is increasing by the day. Renewable energy sources already have a significant place in electricity production both around the world and also in Turkey and the share of solar energy going higher within the renewable energy sources. Solar energy is extremely easy to use, it is preferable too because it is environmentally friendly-clean energy. Solar energy plant is the energy source of the future, because the production costs of solar plants are lower than other energy sources and the economic difficulties are overcome. To get optimal production, the solar energy plant must make maximum use of the sun. In the designed system, solar panels are provided with both fixed and seasonal variations. The first variations of solar panel systems is are placed at constant 25° angle and the position angle of second variation is shifted from 10° to 30°in summer and winter accordingly. In this study, the performance of 1148 kWp PV plants which is established in Altınekin district of Konya and planned to be connected to the grid was evaluated by PVSYST analysis program. Power generation of the two different systems, specific data and performance value are calculated. Result of the study shows that the seasonal system produced 32.2 MWh more per year than the fixed system. Global irradiation in the seasonal system is 26.4 kWh/m², and the specific yield is concluded to be more than 28 kWh / kWc / year.

Purpose Solar photovoltaic (PV) is commonly used as a renewable energy source to provide electrical power to customers. This research establishes a method for testing the performance reliability of large grid-connected PV power systems. Solar PV can turn unrestricted amounts of sunlight into energy without releasing carbon dioxide or other contaminants into the atmosphere. Because of these advantages, large-scale solar PV generation has been increasingly incorporated into power grids to meet energy demand. The capability of the installation and the position of the PV are the most important considerations for a utility company when installing solar PV generation in their system. Because of the unpredictability of sunlight, the amount of solar penetration in a device is generally restricted by reliability constraints. PV power systems are made up of five PV modules, with three of them needing to be operational at the same time. In other words, three out of five. Then there is a charge controller and a battery bank with three batteries, two of which must be consecutively be in operation. i.e. two out of three. Inverter and two distributors, all of which were involved at the same time. i.e. two out of two. In order to evaluate real-world grid-connected PV networks, state enumeration is used. To measure the reliability of PV systems, a collection of reliability indices has been created. Furthermore, detailed sensitivity tests are carried out to examine the effect of various factors on the efficiency of PV power systems. Every module's test results on a realistic 10-kW PV system. To see how the model works in practice, many scenarios are considered. Tables and graphs are used to show the findings. Design/methodology/approach The system of first-order differential equations is formulated and solved using Laplace transforms using regenerative point techniques. Several scenarios were examined to determine the impact of the model under consideration. The calculations were done with Maple 13 software. Findings The authors get availability, reliability, mean time to failure (MTTF), MTTF sensitivity and gain feature in this research. To measure the reliability of PV systems, a collection of reliability indices has been created. Furthermore, detailed sensitivity tests are carried out to examine the effect of various factors on the efficiency of PV power systems. Originality/value This is the authors' original copy of the paper. Because of the importance of the study, the references are well-cited. Nothing from any previously published articles or textbooks has been withdrawn.
