Abstract :At the present days, quick consumption of fossil-basic sources and damages that fossil fuels give to environment have caused people to tend towards alternative energy sources.  As energy need has been increasing constantly,  renewable energy sources are needed in the event that energy bottleneck does not occur in the future. One which is most and easily found among renewable energy sources is solar energy and our country has got high potential in terms of sun potential. On this study, as solar energy potential over world and in Turkey, methods to produce energy from sun and literature information have been mentioned, the relation of cost and efficiency-performance for electric production of sun from past to today has been analyzed,.various stable FV panel systems, sun tracker systems and SMGTS sample designs have been examined. Suggestions to increase yield with electrical basic have been made as cost analysis has been made for SMGTS`s with stable and moving FV systems. Consequently, it has been determined that electric production capacity from sun would be increased much more in regions with high temperature average as using intensive solar energy systems such as Stirling engine system which its application is made.
