Despite of global technological advancements, the world is still facing many challenges. One of the main challenges is the energy. Because oflimitedfossil fuel resources for supplying energy, we have to use renewable energy resources. solar energy is an alternative to fossil fuel in electric power generation. Usingsolar cell has unique advantages such as no environmental pollution, no industrial pollution, no need for network, distributed generation and very low maintenance costs. One of the main consumers of electrical energy in Iran is oil industry. considering the location of oil plants and no connection to electrical network such as oil wells in mountains , usingphotovoltaic cell isa good solution. This paper tries to Analyze design parameters of a photovoltaic system then analysisof financial and pollution of this system by retscreen Software. In this paper it has been tried to calculate the electricity consumption and costs of a typical oil unit then use of RETSCREEN software for financial and pollution analysis.
