The possibility of supplying half of household electricity consumption with solar energy.
Advisor to the CEO of Tavanir: In the form of a medium-term plan, we can ensure half of the electricity consumption of the country's domestic sector thanks to solar energy, he added: if this plan comes true, 18 billion cubic meters of natural gas will be saved in the country each year. year.
 

Referring to the importance of the development of solar energy in the country, "Majid Farmed" said: the average annual consumption of household subscribers in 2022 across the country was equal to 3106 kilowatt hours, including only 8 provinces, Fars , Kerman, Ilam. , Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad, Sistan and Baluchistan, Hormozgan, Khuzestan and Bushehr consumed more than the mentioned average, and most of the country's provinces (23 provinces) consumed less electricity than this average.
He added: The number of subscribers in the domestic sector reached more than 32 million subscribers by the end of 2023, and this figure will reach 36 million subscribers in the next 5 years.
Expressing the need for special planning to meet the electricity consumption needs of residential customers in the coming years, Farmad said: One of the ways to provide the electricity that residential customers need is to use panels solar.
   In this regard, he said: A solar panel with a capacity of one kilowatt can produce 1,500 kilowatt hours of electricity per year for 20 years in most geographical areas of Iran.
This quantity of electricity is on average equal to half of the electricity consumed by domestic customers in the country.
Advisor to the CEO of Tavanir, emphasizing that if one kilowatt of solar panel is allocated to 36 million subscriber households in the country, the capacity of this type of power plant will reach 36,000 megawatts, adding: With this method, at least 54 billion of the kilowatt hours of electricity can be produced per year.
In response to the question of how to obtain the financial resources necessary for this plan, Farmad said: This plan requires $14.4 billion in medium-term credit, and to realize this amount of credit, it can be obtained from the Sources of Fuel saved through electricity production was used by solar power plants.
He added: the fuel resources saved through the production of electricity by solar power plants, even if considered entirely at the price of natural gas (for example, 20 cents per cubic meter) and the higher price of liquid fuel Energy. power plants during the cold season of the year compared to If natural gas is ignored, this will amount to $3.6 billion per year, which can cover the investment needed to build domestic solar power plants within 4 years .
On this basis, the advisor to the CEO of Tawanir declared: the government can rely on this method of financing to gradually hand over the solar panel to all electricity subscribers (at the rate of one kilowatt per subscriber) free of charge or by receiving a maximum of 20% of its cost. and in return for this action, the subscriber is required to maintain and maintain the solar panel during its useful life (at least 20 years) and to produce electricity and use the electricity produced by the solar panel to provide part of the electricity it needs.
He suggested: If at the end of each year, the amount of electricity produced by the solar panel is greater than the total household electricity consumption that year, the excess electricity produced on the first electricity bill of the following year will be settled at the daily rate on the green table of the Energy Exchange. And if the electricity produced is less than the normal production quantity of solar panels according to its remaining life, it will be settled with it at the same rate in the first joint electricity bill of the following year.
He highlighted other ways to develop solar energy in the domestic sector: if in new construction, builders are obliged to build a one kilowatt solar power plant for each residential unit on the construction site, per year, an average of 700 megawatts will be added to the capacity of solar power plants.
The advisor to the CEO of Tavanir also highlighted the possibility of using the capacity of the country's industries for the development of solar energy and added in this regard: the industrial sector, which does not want any restrictions on electricity during the hot period of the year, can, in accordance with the obligations of Article 16 of the Knowledge-Based Production Jump Act, instead of The construction of large solar power plants, the connection to the grid of which requires the strengthening of the electricity transmission network, should be made to build one kilowatt of solar energy panels for each domestic subscriber, and for this action, be exempt from electricity consumption management programs to the same extent.
Fermed discussed other possible methods for developing solar energy in the domestic sector: In addition to the mentioned methods, the country's solar panel manufacturing plants can also consider handing over one kilowatt of solar panels to voluntary household subscribers at electricity in the form of long-term contracts. installments and forward sales (e.g. within 5 years) and buyers of solar panels can also pay their installments within 5 years from the point of sale of the generated electricity to the grid on the basis approved tariffs and benefit from income from the sale of electricity for the remaining life of the solar panel (e.g. 15 years) becomes
He mentioned the advantages of this measure: annual saving of 18 billion cubic meters of natural gas or its liquid fuel equivalent in thermal power plants, dissemination of the culture of clean electricity production among the population, development of capacity national solar panel factories, increasing the stability of the national electricity grid and resolving imbalances. This is one of the advantages of the development of solar energy in the domestic sector.
Finally, the Tavanir CEO consultant clarified: it should be considered to install solar panels in the common areas (roofs) of existing residential complexes with challenges such as the need to obtain notarized consent from all owners of the residential units located in the complex to install solar panels in common areas, the presence of a sufficiently shaded space and even if possible there is no shade in the common area to install the solar panel, the need to connecting the solar panel structure to the building skeleton in order to withstand wind and storms, and the possibility of flying the solar panel installed on the roof through neighboring roofs, which must be taken into account at the time of implementation .
