Abstract:-

Kirkuk is one of the regions that suffer from economic instability due to the emergence of the problem of continuous power outages in all schools, and due to the increase in electrical loads on the networks, and given the important and vital role that government schools play in providing services to citizens, and the high consumption of electrical current in schools, it was necessary to research About an alternative energy system in generating electricity, which is the use of photovoltaic solar cells due to their efficiency and as environmentally friendly projects that protect them from pollution. This research addressed the issue of using solar cell systems in schools in the center of Kirkuk Governorate and analyzing the technical and economic impact of using solar energy in schools, based on the Salah School District in Kirkuk Governorate, and the extent of its impact on reducing electricity bills whose value ranges between (60,000-100,000). One thousand Iraqi dinars per month, as the maximum power values required by photovoltaic systems range between (3000 - 4000) watt-hours. Thus, these savings are achieved between (1,000,000 - 1,250,000) thousand Iraqi dinars during the year for invoices, and within time periods not exceeding 4 years, the cost of the projects can be recovered. In addition to reducing pollution, according to the Civil Defense Centers, the energy generated annually from solar cell systems. When the world began discussing the issues of climate change caused by the use of fossil fuels, the use of solar energy appeared in various forms. Current schools are responsible for using the largest amounts of energy for lighting, heating, and cooling. Therefore, the will of governments and societies must be high to replace fossil fuels with free solar energy that is available everywhere. A country's growth can be measured directly from its increasing energy demand. If energy demand is not met in a timely manner, it will severely hamper growth leading to economic collapse. It is known that weather conditions in a particular area can have a significant impact on the amount of electricity produced by a photovoltaic system.
