RT - Journal Article T1 - Zoning Feasibility and Potential Locations for the Deployment of Solar Panels Based on Climatic Variables in Sistan and Baluchestan JF - epprjournal YR - 2013 JO - epprjournal VO - 0 IS - 1 UR - http://epprjournal.ir/article-1-25-en.html SP - 99 EP - 114 K1 - Feasibility K1 - Zoning K1 - Solar Panel K1 - Weighted Overlay Model AB - Decreasing of nonrenewable resources is one of the growing problems in discussing energy. The solar energy is one of the cleanest forms of renewable energy in the world. The Sistan and Balouchestan Province, due to locating in the low latitudes, has Plenty of sunshine hours Over the years.This study aimed to establish zoning and locate vulnerable areas of solar panels based on climatic variables has been done in this province.The first layer sunny Total hours per year, the number of cloudy days, rainy days, dusty days, annual average of relative humidity, altitude and total annual precipitation as the most important climatic factors affecting solar radiation were generated in GIS environment. The results showed that 14.23 percent within the highly desirable area of the province, 28.79% in the optimal range, 27.86% in the moderate range and 29.10% of the total area of the province is poor and very poor in terms of deploying solar panels. Below this layer through weighted overlay model (weighted overlay) combine and layer zones in preparing for the deployment of solar panels is located.The best place to take advantage of solar energy are SibSouran, Saravan and after them, Kash, Iranshahr and parts of Zahak and Nikshahr were detected.
