Enabling PV Iran: The Emerging PV Market in Iran

Iran faces an increasing energy demand that cannot be met by conventional energy sources only. Thus, alternative energy sources have to be explored. Renewable Energy is an economic option when compared with the generation costs of conventional energy. Furthermore Iran has great solar energy potential that can be used.

The German Solar Association (BSW-Solar) in cooperation with the Iran-Wind Group, eclareon and Pflüger International analyzed the processes of investments and project development of PV power plants in Iran. This includes the identification of the legal and administrative framework and the description of the two most viable business models for solar PV in Iran.
