A Closer Look To Opportunities On Solar Energy

In recent years, scientists have focused on renewable and alternative energy sources, like solar and wind energies, due to energy prices and environmental problems of fossil fuel consumption. It is well known that solar energy is the source of life on earth. The solar energy affects positively all living organisms and the planning and design of building heating and cooling systems. Turkey has a very high solar energy potential since its location is exposed with a very high solar radiation.

Especially, the amount, direction and variation of radiation are very important for heating and cooling systems for the necessary calculations of heat gain from solar energy. The solar energy potential is also necessary to estimate maximum solar energy loads on walls, windows and roofs.
