Iran’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization has submitted a proposal to deploy 15GW of small-scale solar plants across residential, commercial and agricultural sectors. SATBA said both domestic manufacturing and equipment imports will be needed to support rapid installations, while additional financing support for home solar systems has also been proposed. The program will focus on rooftop, home, commercial and agricultural PV systems, with standardized packages including solar panels, hybrid inverters and batteries. SMM believes Iran is shifting part of its renewable strategy from large-scale plants toward distributed and small-scale solar-plus-storage systems, with equipment supply, financing mechanisms and installation training becoming key factors for implementation.
