Popis: Use of a renewable energy has become a foregone conclusion in the coming years due to the depletion of fossil fuel energy in a few decades. Therefore, the whole world is focused on finding other energy sources, developing these sources, and using them in the right ways. The solar energy is considered as one of these sources and the location of Iraq enablest to take advantages of the solar radiation that falling on his land where the average solar radiation in Iraq is about (5-5.5) kW/m²/day. Furthermore, the solar energy like the other types of renewable energy is facing barriers and challenges. Among them are technical, financial, environmental, political and other problems and obstacles. This work presents and discusses all these barriers and challenges that hinder the use of a photovoltaic (PV) technology in power generation in Iraq. It also shows possible scenarios to overcome these problems and utilize this energy.
