Comparing the present solar power generation capacity with the real potential of the country indicates that a comprehensive program must be developed to harness more solar energy.
Iran has set a new national record in solar energy generation, achieving an unprecedented 800 MW of instantaneous output from solar power plants across 24 sites in several
Iran has reported a significant increase in solar electricity generation as part of its broader push to expand the share of renewables in the national energy mix.
Of this total, photovoltaic solar power plants contribute the largest share at 60 percent, equivalent to 608.03 MW, while wind power plants account for 29 percent, or 376.3 MW. Small
Solar electricity generation includes solar photovoltaic and solar thermal generation, and distributed solar generation where available.
Iran has set a new record in solar power generation, with output from its solar plants reaching 800 megawatts on August 26, according to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Iran has an average of 2,200 kilowatt-hour solar radiation per square meter annually, and 90% of the country has enough sun to generate solar power 300 days a year.
Historically, the average for Iran from 1980 to 2023 is 0.09 billion kilowatthours. The minimum value, 0 billion kilowatthours, was reached in 1980 while the maximum of 0.76 billion kilowatthours was
