Solar energy

Shiraz CSP power Plant Completion of the optimal design of parabolic collectors and collectors farm. Fundamental and Detailed design of steam and oil cycles for the first time for a solar thermal power plant in Iran.

Laser test for mirror bending: Given executed efforts in bending and exerting modifications on mould, furnace and laser test device with bending precision has reached from 7 mill radian to less than 3 mill radian.. Achieving know-how for producing all the equipment parts of solar thermal power plant (parabolic trough)

Rural Electrification Rural Electrification SUNA has installed 600 pilot PV systems for electrification of some rural areas. With experience gained by these pilot projects, Tavanir is implementing the same projects with capacity of 2000 house-holds. Installed systems have 0.7 and 1.5 kW capacities because they can be widely used throughout the country based on experiences.

41 Some Remarks about Feed in Tariffs in 2015 (1394) 20 years contract Adjustable rate (inflation, exchange rate fluctuation) After the end of the contract: bilateral contracts, energy exchange, electricity market 18 months deadline for power plant deployment. Decreasing feed in tariffs in the future in proportion with increasing installed capacities. By 30% bonus for enjoying domestic capabilities (know-how, technology, equipment and production) The Renewable Energy Organization of Iran (SUNA) is responsible to take care of this policy in preparing tariff draft in the coming years.
