dc.description.abstractElectricity consumption is an important cost in businesses operating in the service sector such as marinas. Although the use of solar power for electricity has become widespread in various fields in Türkiye, marinas have yet to fully utilize this technology. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of supplying the electricity needs of a marina with a photovoltaic (PV) system. For this purpose, a marina in Muğla (Bodrum) was selected, and monthly/yearly electricity needs were determined. In this study, the PV installed capacity needed to meet the marina's electricity demand was selected. Simulations were performed for three different options using the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS). According to the calculations, a 2012 kW single-axis tracking PV system generated 4,469,618 kWh/year of electricity, which is sufficient to meet the annual electricity demand. It has been determined that the installation cost payback period is 3.91 years for the single-axis tracking PV system. In addition, it was observed that both the dual-axis tracking and single-axis tracking PV systems were more efficient than the fixed options. © 2024 Published by peer-reviewed open access scientific journal, JES at DergiPark (https://dergipark.org.tr/jes)en_US
