Buildings consume a signifcant amount of energy worldwide. Terefore, providing a part of this energy consumption with renewable energy, and reducing energy consumption, can lead to reducing pollutants. Due to the importance of the above• mentioned points, this work aims to supply part of the required electricity in the buildings by using solar cells in eight climates of Iran. According to the available photovoltaic modules in the Iranian market, the study has been performed for six diferent types of solar cells. Considering the efect of temperature and wind speed on the efciency of solar cells has made the results of the present work more consistent with reality. Te simulations are performed for 25years of the project’s useful life using HOMER V2.81 software, and the studied system is connected to the grid. Te conclusions displayed that the Passive Emitter Rear Cell Silicon (perc•si) has the highest efciency (21.22%–22.8%). Marand station is economically suitable (total net present cost (NPC) of3180$ for a polycrystalline panel), and Gonbad station is appropriate because of high solar energy production (9183kWh/year) and low environmental pollution (12602.9kg/year). Due to the diversity and breadth of Iran’s climates, the results of the present study can be used for other areas with similar climates. 1. Introduction Electricity consumption has recently increased in Iran, and much of the country’s energy is used in the household sector as electricity (such as lighting, cooling, or heating). Te growing need for energy resources, the depletion of fossil energy resources and water from dams, electricity re• strictions, and attention to reducing air pollution has made solar energy usage necessary to generate electricity in Iran. Iran has sunlight with desirable power and is one of the most appropriate areas for using solar energy [1]. Te growth of energy consumption and uncontrolled use of fossil energy sources, which has increased the price of fossil energy carriers, increased pollution, and degraded environmental resources, ozone depletion, and global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions, is the reason for attention to renewable energy in diferent countries. Renewable energy, such as solar energy, is available in most parts of the world and is inexhaustible [2]. Te development trend of solar energy in the world from 2014 to 2020 is shown in Figure 1 [3]. As shown in Figure 1, solar energy is the number one renewable energy used in the world. Te household consumption of the world’s energy is close to half of its consumption. Tis consumption of energy demand has made homes the largest energy consumers and signifcant sources of CO 2 emissions and environmental pollution [4, 5] since architects should design efcient buildings with less energy consumption for cooling, heating, and lighting and reduce the emission of environmental pollutants [6]. Photovoltaic is one of the best ways for solar energy usage. Although photovoltaics have many applications in various felds, today, the use of photovoltaic systems is more in the architecture and construction industry felds.
