Özet

Today's society has turned to renewable energy sources, especially solar energy, as a result of increasing energy demand and the climate crisis. Given their potential to provide energy independence, off-grid solar systems represent an important area of research in this context. Off-grid systems generate and store energy independently from the power grid, allowing energy to be supplied to often isolated and hard-to-reach locations. This study investigates the small-scale performance analysis and experimental results of off-grid solar energy systems. The research was carried out on a renewable energy set consisting of 10 Wp photovoltaic panels in the Energy Systems Engineering laboratory of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. Experiments were carried out and analyses were performed at different panel angles and light intensities in AC and DC connected systems. The results obtained were statistically analyzed by ANOVA test. It is observed that DC connections are directly affected by the changes in the panel, but AC connections do not interrupt the consumer thanks to the use of batteries.
