The Effect of Building Orientation on Utilization of Solar Energy in Dairy Cattle Barns

In Turkey and the World, energy demand is continuously increased. addition to rapid depletion of fossil fuel resources used supply needs, ambient temperatures risen, glaciers are melt natural disasters occured in our planet. addition, people, animals plants greatly damaged due adverse effects soil, water air pollution. Solar renewable, clean easily accessible energy. Our country more advantageous terms solar potential comparison many other countries benefitting from this very important. With increasing importance renewable sources, photovoltaic (PV) panels, which able convert directly into electrical energy, not polluting environment easy implement, become common. The inclination angle position panels parameters that affect production Electrical extensively agricultural activities, as every field. Especially, animal systems, cost an important input high mechanization use automation. This study was carried out dairy cattle barn with a capacity 50 head Bursa province. It aimed determine amount produced by located on roof four different directions (North-South, East-West, Northeast-Southwest, Northwest-Southeast), also find whether sufficient or meet requirement barn. be placed roofs determined using PVSOL software. According results, North-South (N), East-West (E), Northeast-Southwest (NE) Northwest-Southeast (NW) orientation 179.453,0 kWh, 159.655,0 175.950,0 kWh 138.245,0 respectively. annual calculated 25.200,0 kWh. case, it N, E, NE NW orientations met requirements 5 7 times.
