Abstract

The Forozan area of Bandar Abbas is one of the growing areas. Due to the increase in the population in this part, the amount of electricity consumed in the Forozan region has also increased. Considering the style of the structures in this area, the suitable skyline, and the gentle slope towards the south, the buildings have a good potential for installing solar panels, and the possibility of using their produced energy is an effective method of compensating part of the energy. It is required by the region. After the field monitoring of the area, calculating the digital height of the area relative to the base, using ArcGIS software, the topology of the area, the slope, and the skyline have been calculated and interpolated. Modeling has been done for these areas using PVSol software version 2021 with how to install panels in south-direction and east-west directions. By using these panels on the roofs of the buildings in this area, which were technically possible to install, they will produce about 9800-kilowatt hours of energy annually, and after 5 years, the capital of this project will be returned. In the case of covering all the buildings that can be installed in the Forozan area of Bandar Abbas, more than 7.9 MWh of energy will be produced annually and the production of more than 450 tons of CO2 gas will be prevented. The installation of the panel will provide 20% of the electricity consumed in the area.
