The main challenge of reducing the water inflow into the catchment area of the Hamon wetland will lead to the drying of the wetland bed. With the increase in temperature, it will eventually lead to the creation of a dust center. The use of floating solar panels as a cover of Hamun Wetland will reduce the amount of evaporation of the waters of this lagoon to a great extent, and based on modeling using PVSol 2021, more than 176MW of energy will be produced, and 306 GWh/year of renewable electricity will be produced. The results have shown that it is possible to prevent the evaporation of more than 190 thousand cubic meters of water in an area of about 20 hectares covered by the floating solar panel sector. The appropriate performance ratio of the output power of the floating solar panel, 91%, installed, and the reduction effect of evaporation with this type of coating on the Hamun Wetland make this process an economical process from an economic and environmental point of view.
