The cost of installing a solar power plant and the profits it will yield vary depending on various factors. Typically, the payback period for a solar power plant can range from 5 to 10 years. Here are the key points to know about costs and returns:
Costs
The Cost of Panels
Solar panels constitute a large portion of the total cost. The brand, efficiency, and technology of the panels significantly influence the price.
Inverter and Other Equipment
Inverters convert the direct current (DC) produced by panels into alternating current (AC). Inverter costs also depend on the system capacity.
Installation equipment, cables, and other accessories also impact the cost.
Installation and Labor
The installation of a solar power plant should be carried out by expert teams. Labor costs vary depending on local labor rates.
On average, installation costs can constitute 10-20% of the total cost.
Permits and Projects
The costs of permits and project planning for the installation of the plant should also be considered.
These include permits from local authorities and connection fees.
Profits
Electricity Generation
A solar power plant generates a certain amount of electricity annually, depending on local sunshine hours and panel efficiency.
In various regions of Turkey, the average annual sunshine hours range from 2,500 to 3,000 hours.
Electricity Sales
The revenue from selling the generated electricity to the grid depends on electricity tariffs.
In Turkey, electricity prices from facilities based on renewable energy sources are determined under the Renewable Energy Resources Support Mechanism (YEKDEM).
Incentives and Supports
The incentives provided by the government, tax reductions, and other supports can shorten the investment payback period.
In Turkey, there are various incentives and supports available for solar power plants.
Cost and Payback Period
The estimated costs and potential earnings of a 1 MW solar power plant in Turkey will vary depending on the project size and local conditions.
Annual earnings depend on local electricity prices and production capacity. Typically, the investment payback period can range from 5 to 10 years.
Costs and revenues can vary depending on local conditions and market factors. Factors such as weather conditions, geographical location, and natural disasters can also influence the payback period of a solar power plant.
