Nowadays, solar powerhouses in Iran are mainly PV with the capacity of about 0.1% of whole reproducible capacity of the country which has been raised to be compared with the previous years.
Solar energy plants are situated in Shiraz, Semnan, Taleghan, Yazd, Tehran and Khorasan. Some of the other projects were carried out by Iran Renewable Energy Organization (SUNA), such as Taleghan solar energy park, Design, fabrication and installation of 350 solar water heaters at Bushehr, Tabas, Yazd, Bojnoord, Zahedan and Isfahan.
Installation of nearly 18,000 solar water heaters was another activity in the field of household, official and commercial applications of solar energy. Moreover, about 77,000 m 2 of solar collectors were installed during Iran’s third and fourth national development plan , , , , , , , , , , .
The Yazd integrated solar combined cycle power station is another important solar project in Iran which is a hybrid power station situated near Yazd, which became operational in 2009 , , , , , , , , , , . It is the world’s first combined cycle power plant using solar power and natural gas.
Potential of solar energy in Iran , . Moreover, the sunny hours of the four seasons are 700 h during spring, 1050 h during summer, 830 h during autumn and 500 h during winter. Although Iran’s solar potential is excellent, there was limited application to use this source of energy.
Calculations have shown that the amount of actual solar radiation hours in Iran exceeds 2800 h per year , , , , , , . Given the area of the country and solar radiation of the year, it is necessary to build more solar power plants for saving in excessive consumption of fossil energy , , .
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023.
