Tehran Garden Wind and Solar Energy Storage Power Station

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.

Iran has 300 sunny days a year and the north of the country is mountainous, which should motivate policymakers in Tehran to concentrate on wind and solar energy as viable renewable energy resources. Indeed, the government has already moved to subsidize new, large-scale wind and solar farms in prime locations to ensure they remain profitable.

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.

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.

Renewable energy, especially solar power, presents a viable solution to Iran's energy challenges. By capitalizing on its substantial solar resources, Iran's energy problems have a workable answer in renewable energy, particularly solar electricity. Iran has a big edge here because many of its regions get up to 300 sunshine days a year.

Iran's leaders have announced an aim of generating 10 percent of the country's electricity from renewable sources by the end of 2025, and 30 percent by 2030. Iran's current renewable energy capacity stand at over 4 GW, roughly half of its goal; of this number, 1 GW comes from solar and wind power, with significant room for growth
