Abstract :Solar energy is preferred today because it is environmentally friendly and clean energy. In order to get the best production from solar power plants, it is necessary to make maximum use of the sun. In this context, the installation of solar panels with a single-axis monitoring system in the designed system is a cost-effective distribution strategy. On the other hand, the bifacial or monofacial of the panels used directly affects the gain. Bifacial modules increase energy efficiency of 4% - 15% depending on module type and ground albedo. In this study, the performance of 1123.2 kWp PV plants connected to the network planned to be established in Karaman was evaluated by the PVSYST analysis program by selecting both monofacial and bifacial panels. Energy production, specific efficiency, performance ratio values of this study were calculated. It was found that the system carried out with the working bifacial panel produced 170 MWh more per year, resulting in a 7% gain.
