    Aliağa bölgesindeki gelişmiş PV teknolojilerinin karşılaştırılması: PERC ve TOPCon analizi
    (2025) Kansu, Merve; Kutay, Mahir
    Solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies have become a significant focus in the renewable energy sector due to the increasing global energy demand and the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions. This study compares the energy production performances of two advanced photovoltaic cell technologies, monocrystalline PERC (Passified Emitter and Back Cell) and TopCon (tunnel oxide passivated contact), under the same conditions in Aliağa Çoraklar, one of the regions with high solar energy potential in Turkey. Comprehensive simulations performed with PVSyst software showed significant changes in terms of efficiency, temperature resistance and production costs. While TOPCon technology shows better performance due to its advanced structural design such as tunnel oxide layer, PERC technology is still attractive for cost-oriented applications. The study comprehensively analyzes the production capacities and sustainable energy impacts of these technologies, providing important information to decision makers and investors for the renewable energy sector. Furthermore, the role of innovative photovoltaic technologies in advancing Turkey's renewable energy targets is emphasized when considering energy storage integration and economic feasibility.
