In the research, especially the technologies used in the production of electricity from solar radiation were discussed. On the basis of regional characteristics of solar energy, the solar panels can produce different amounts of energy were determined. In this context, while the regional average of 166.3 to 223.3 kWh/m(2) of energy can be produced from monocrystalline panels (PV) and the regional average of 155.2 to 208,4 kWh/m(2) of energy can be produced from polycrystalline panels (PV) were determined. Additionally, the regional average of 310.4 to 416.9 kWh/m(2) of energy can be produced from concentrator solar panels (CPV) was established.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSolarTechnologiesRenewable energySolar energyPhotovoltaik (pv)Concentrator (cpv)TurkeyScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineEnvironmental sciencesRegional energy production with PV and CPV panels in north-west TurkeyArticle00062917970001056965703297A1610-2304
