Statement of the Problem: The Iranian government is pushing for a move away to the utilization of hydrocarbons as a wellspring of power creation. Iran’s policymakers have perceived the capability of environmentally friendly power area and have does whatever it takes to take advantage of it (Hazrati and Malakoutikhah, 2019). Social acknowledgment idea is one of the significant prerequisites for accomplishing mechanical achievement and accomplishment In any case, its hypothetical significance has not been viewed as in original advancements and energy foundations, specifically (Wang et al., 2020; Kyriakopoulos, 2021; Nuortimo and Härkönen, 2018). Likewise, studies to accomplish and plan compelling techniques to urge families to involve this new innovation for family purposes have not been thought of. Subsequently, this study expects to examine social factors that effect on open acknowledgment and obstructions to the development and advancement of sun oriented energy innovation photovoltaic. Methodology and Theoretical Orientation: in this study, an attempt is made to select the most appropriate possible sample size in the framework of available information, the possible time, cost, and necessary accuracy. Since this research was conducted in a survey method and its purpose was to generalize the responses to a larger population, multi-stage stratified sampling was used. In this study, the questionnaire, which was used by Farhar and Coburn (2000) in Florida was used to collect the required information. SPSS software was also used to analyze the gathered information. In this study, the harmonization of the person’s response to an item in comparison with any of the other items on the scale has been used. Thus, the reliability of the whole of the scale is measured. The five features of Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory include: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, observability and trialability. He defines the relative advantage as “the degree to which an innovation is perceived as being better than the idea it supersedes”. Besides, he describes compatibility as the degree to which an innovation is perceived as consistent with the existing values and experiences. The complexity of an innovation is considered among barrier to its adoption; actually, as an innovation is tested and trialed repeatedly, it is accepted more quickly. Finally, he defines the observability as the degree to which the results of an innovation are visible to others (Nikou, 2019; Hubert et al., 2019). Findings: The results showed that there was a significant statistical relationship between technology acceptance and relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, trialability and observability. Finally, they also replied that they were still a little doubtful about accepting and adopting photovoltaic technology. this result is consistent with the research of Bandara and Amarasena (2018) and Alrashoud and Tokimatsu (2019). Regarding the regression coefficients of the observability, it was indicated that it was a stronger predictor as compared with other variables. Next, trialability secured the secondbest predictor in this realm. This finding supports the results of previous research by Qureshi and Arentsen (2017), Alam et al. (2021) and Qazi et al. (2019). Among the methods of payment for the buy of solar panels, the respondents, government through the distribution company should offer a part of the cost in the form of subsidies and direct government subsidies to the manufacturers of solar panels (reducing the cost of the solar panel system) prefer to other methods. In addition, the price is too high for the average household to buy all at once. This finding supports the results of previous research by Shakeel and Rahman, (2018). People over 40 years old and less than 25 years old have more acceptances in solar panel. Highly educated people, more income, have more acceptance than people without university education. This result is in line with the research of Yuan et al (2011) and Claudy et al (2010). Women are more accepting of solar panels than men. This result is not consistent with the research of Karimzadeh and Kašparová, (2021) and Claudy et al (2010) that men are more accepting of renewable energy technologies than women. Conclusion and Significance: Because of the wealth of gas and oil in Iran and the failure to trade these items, petroleum derivative influence plants force lower cost than sustainable influence plants, thus, the public authority can lay out and foster PV sun based energy and other sustainable power sources furnish similar assets with a similar measure of endowment to environmentally friendly power organizations, so they can make added esteem by working in the petrochemical area and partake in this sort of speculation support as opposed to giving these assets to influence plants at a much lower cost than the world cost. There is a decent vision of the improvement of clean energy and the creation of sunlight based energy gear on the off chance that the region and Development Designing Association require the utilization of these frameworks. The public authority concedes an endowment for these fossil power plants, bringing about the most minimal expense viable interest in the sustainable area of the power business. In particular, in the event that we reevaluate the privatization of the oil, gas, and energy industry and give the portions of the downstream area of the country’s energy industry to individuals, and they get energy profits rather than cash sponsorships, it is ordinary for such an extent that they will actually want to increment costs, bringing about an expansion in the worth of their profits and benefits in the country’s energy industry, which as the outcome, will prompt a huge expansion in sustainable power. On the off chance that every one of the previously mentioned issues occur and energy costs become genuine and government lessens its mediation in the energy area; the confidential area’s presence and the seriousness of costs will prompt critical development in the sustainable power area, particularly Photovoltaic sunlight based energy.
