In this study, it was planned to increase the welfare level of the enterprises and the contribution of them to economy by rendering the idle roofs of agricultural enterprises with photovoltaics in Çukurova Region of Turkey.

In the study, a 50 kWh photovoltaic system was designed on a 333 m2 roof for an enterprise with a consumption of 150 kWh.days. According to calculations, the losses of the system are assumed to be 28% and the economic life is assumed to be 20 years, and also the energy storable and non-storable conditions of the accumulators has been examined. It is calculated that, it can be fed 46% from the grid and 54% from photovoltaic if energy is storable, thus if energy is not storable it can be fed 36% from photovoltaic and 64% from the grid. The system has been examined from the economic point of view and it was calculated that the profit point will begin after 7 years when annual bank interest rate is at 10% and the inflation point is at 7%.
