ABSTRACT

In today’s world, the increasing need for energy and the factors, such as increasing energy costs, limited reserves, and environmental pollution, leads the renewable energy to be the most attractive energy source. Since these sources have unlimited supply and they do not cause environmental pollution, they are studied extensively lately and utilized more and more every day. Governments put in new legislations and feed-in-tariffs to encourage the investors to install new renewable energy utilization sites [1-3] and studies on this topic are supported by many foundations.
