The most important and abundant renewable energy in the world is solar which going to be used increasingly.Life cycle assessment approach help us analyze new technologies quantify impacts on environment.The results of studies show that 80% embodied related manufacturing processes producing photovoltaic (PV) panels.Energy efficiency, location production phase, installation, building integration facilities climate affect performance PV technology through its life cycle.In this paper we a multi-dimensional model including environmental impact cost analysis for integrated (BIPV) system.This BIPV system can provide whole required electricity single family house two cities Iran with different climatic conditions (Tehran BandarAbbas) has been evaluated.The showed payback period time highly dependent maintenance costs especially while current generating plants low are based fossil fuel resources Iran.According calculations longer than technical span them by considering tariffs initial costs; therefore, more governmental investment subsidies needed.Besides system, comparison systems carried out terms categories.
