Sinop province’s Solar Power Generation Potential in comparison with our country and Germany

The need for the energy is maintaining its importance in the present time as in the past and this is expected to increase in the future. Due to the problems such as limited fossil fuel reserve and environmental damage, there is an orientation to the alternative energy resources for the production of electrical energy. The primary resources of alternative energy include sun, wind, hydraulic and geothermal sources that are naturally exist in the world. Being Environmentally-friendly, renewable, easy to obtain make these resources attractive. In order to make more use of solar energy for the production of electric energy, there are a lot of researches in our coutry and in the world. A place to utilize solar energy for electricity generation from solar desired that place of knowing and interpreting the data is important and necessary to determine the solar energy potential. Sinop province, in the name of power generation by thermal and nuclear power plants in recent years are often referred to by the project. Germany has taken in terms of capacity of photovoltaic systems in the first place until the end of the year. In this study, solar data of Sinop province were examined and compared with Turkey and Germany in general. When compared, Solargis company, World Weather and Climate Information site and Turkish electricity production data were used. The results are discussed in comparison. In addition, this study Sinop for clean, renewable and alternative production methods, which contains information about the power generation from solar energy in both potency and usability
