Abstract

Considering the existing issues of electricity shortages in Iran and the problems caused by air pollution due to the use of fossil fuels, designing a solar power plant with a capacity of 1.1 MWp in the Sa'adat Abad district of Tehran using PVsyst software could be an appropriate solution for providing sustainable and clean energy. Photovoltaic power plants, as renewable energy sources, harness sunlight to generate electrical energy, the use of which can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and improve air quality. Especially in a city like Tehran, which faces air pollution and traffic problems, the utilization of clean energy can have significant positive effects on public health and the environment. Furthermore, given the growing energy demand in Iran, establishing power plants with suitable capacities, particularly solar ones, can help meet the increasing energy needs of the country while also alleviating the burden on electricity distribution networks during peak consumption hours. Ultimately, the use of solar energy not only contributes to enhancing the country's energy security but also paves the way for sustainable development and improved quality of life in urban areas.
