Özet

In experimental and simulation studies conducted in Sanliurfa for agricultural PV systems, this study determined that the bPV module in SAST reached the highest energy production capacity with 23% more energy compared to mPV modules in the fixed system. Furthermore, it was determined that using PV systems can prevent 1.702.865 t-CO2-eq/MWh carbon emissions for electricity consumed in irrigation activities in Sanliurfa in 2023. This study emphasises that using PV systems in energy-intensive areas such as agricultural irrigation will contribute to reducing carbon emissions in line with the IEA’s Net Zero 2050 targets.
