Iran Solar Energy Market Growth Supported by Feed-in Tariffs and Expanding Utility-Scale Projects
Introduction: Iran Solar Energy Market Size Gains Momentum from Policy and Industrial Demand The Iran solar energy market size was valued at 2.5 gigawatt in 2025 and is estimated to reach 3.41 gigawatt in 2026, with capacity projected to reach 16.14 gigawatt by 2031. Iran's solar industry is gaining attention as electricity supply pressures encourage utilities, industrial companies, and public institutions to consider renewable generation. The country's high solar irradiation provides a strong foundation for photovoltaic deployment, while policy measures from the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (SATBA) are helping create clearer routes for project development. At the same time, challenges related to subsidized fossil-fuel electricity, foreign-exchange limitations, financing, and grid congestion continue to influence the pace of deployment.
