A Feasibility Study on Various Tilt Angles to Exploit Solar Energy on a Building Rooftop
Energy is the basic need in our daily life. It is also important how we produce energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and have some environmental problems. Renewables especially solar energy is the key to a cleaner future. Luckily, Turkey has a very rich solar energy potential to use sun in generating energy. Along with the solar thermal collectors to supply hot water, photovoltaic panels have been growing a lot in recent years in Turkey. They are used to produce electricity on rooftops of the buildings. This paper focuses on tilt angle; one of the main parameters to install panels on a roof area to get the optimum energy yield. The installed capacity, potential electricity generation, financial aspects are calculated and assessed for two different tilt angles. A software is used to compare 30° and 13° tilt angles. The results reveal 42.168 kWh more energy production and 199.197 kWh less total loss for 30° tilt angle. While the carbon dioxide emission reduction is 495 tons more for 30° tilt angle throughout the 25 year project lifetime, the payback periods of the two angle are almost same.
