Abstract :The Ankara University Ayaş Horticulture Research and Application Station was chosen as the study area for this investigation. It is situated in the Uğurçayırı neighborhood of Ayaş district, in the center of the districts of Ayaş, Güdül, Beypazarı, and Polatlı. Saplings, vegetables, fruits, clover, medicinal, and spice plants are all produced on the 406-hectare land. The analysis employed a variety of solar energy potential sources, including Ayaş, GEPA (2023), MGM HELİOSAT (2021), PVGIS (2021), IRENA (2021), Solar Med Atlas (2021), NASA SSE (2021), SOLARGIS (2019), Global Solar Atlas, and NREL data. In addition, the design cost of a 60 kW photovoltaic system connected to the grid in Ayaş and the daily average/annual total production values according to months were calculated, taking into account the installed solar energy capacity and production values of the Ministry of Energy in the area. Ayaş\\\'s annual solar radiation is 1628 kWh/m2. The average daily electricity production is 252 kWh, and the total annual production is 91980 kWh. A 60 kW PV system\\\'s installation cost is 50150 USD. The system has a six-year repayment period. Furthermore, the PV system will mitigate 59.7 kilograms of CO2 emissions annually.
