Description
Summary:Iran is located on the world’s Sun Belt; therefore the required energy of many parts of the country can be generated through photovoltaic systems. Nowadays, with the increasing growth of energy consumption, the tendency to use renewable energy and specifically solar powers is rising. Within 2000 to 2007, world energy production increased 10.3 percent per capita (Department of Energy, Iran).This consumption increase in 2030 reaches over 48% and even 60%  in 2000. However, disadvantages of fossil energy led international community to use new types of renewable energy. Among the renewable energy forms, solar energy tends to be the cleanest energy and considering potentials of the selected sites, is can be deemed economical, as well.
