The world’s need for renewable resources is growing as a result of the global climate crisis. In order to overcome this issue. The Paris Agreement was signed by the nations as a step for solution to this issue. In it, targets for future were set, and the nations pledged to meet these targets. Nowadays investments in energy production from renewable sources are increasing. When compared to 2019, the amount of energy produced from renewable sources grew by 12.5% in 2020. Photovoltaic systems are receiving more investment as a result of their growing efficiency. In 2020, photovoltaic system production climbed by 20.5 percent. Turkey is increasing their investment in photovoltaic systems. It is crucial for universities to be pioneers in energy production from renewable sources. The studies carried out by universities should be taken into account in terms of both increasing knowledge in this area and having people resource who are trained in it. In this study, the open parking area of the library building of the Izmir Institute of Technology were covered with a roof in order to simulate and analyze the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof. These simulations and calculations were done using software called Enact Systems. PVWatts is utilized by Enact system for climate and photovoltaic calculations infrastructure. 560 panels have been installed on the 835 m2 covered parking lot. The installed power of the panels is 224 kW, and they can generate about 302 gWh of electricity annually. This amount is equal to 51% of library consumption. With this production, the amortization period of the investment is calculated as 8 years.
