Abstract
The world’s electricity generation has increased with renewable energy technologies such as solar (solar power plant), wind energy (wind turbines), heat energy, and even ocean waves. Iran is in the best condition to receive solar radiation due to its proximity to the equator (25.2969° N). In 2020, Iran was able to supply only 900 MW (about 480 solar power plants and 420 MW home solar power plants) of its electricity demand from solar energy, which is very low compared to the global average. Yazd, Fars, and Kerman provinces are in the top ranks of Iran, with the production of approximately 68, 58, and 47 MW using solar energy, respectively. Iran also has a large area of vacant land for the construction of solar power plants. In this article, the amount of electricity generation using solar energy in Iran is studied. In addition, the construction of a 10 MW power plant in the city of Sirjan is economically and technically analyzed. The results show that with US$16.14 million, a solar power plant can be built in the Sirjan region, and the initial capital will be returned in about four years. The results obtained using Homer software show that the highest maximum power generation is in July.

Summary
The renewable energy industry is a significant part of humankind’s mitigation mission for the planet’s viability. R. Sangi, aimed to appraise the efficiency of solar chimney power plants in some cities of Iran and to estimate the amount of the produced electric energy [22]. Presented a theoretical analysis for PV-CAES and CSP power plants between 2011 and 2050 of general plans They suggested that the US government build large solar power plants to produce 3800 TWh of electricity by 2050. A summary of the world’s electricity generation using solar energy, Extensive study on the electricity production in Iran using solar energy, Economic and technical analysis of the construction of a 10 MW solar power plant in the southern region of Iran (Sirjan city). This paper guides those who want to design a solar power plant in the southern regions of Iran and presents a brief report on the costs of building and operating such a plant
