The use of fossil fuels to generate electricity is on the way out and it is not commercially and economically efficient.Besides, the problem of environmental pollution is leading us touse the clean and renewable energies. The use of photovoltaic panels to produce electricity has recently become more popularand it is going to be expected as the new generation of electricity producer especially for limited regions and houses. Accordingly it is important to take advantage of the novel methods and techniques and innovative hardware and software designs to produce energy. But its use is depended on the properties of the region that it is anticipated to be implemented. Hence severalresearchers have conducted investigations on the effectiveness of solar energy for different locations around the world. This paper performs an analysis on usability and feasibility of solar energy in Iran along with a comparison with other ways of electricity production considering the power and capacities of Iran to product electricity by photovoltaic cells in different geographical locations
