Abstract

Introduction: As one of the cleanest and most economical energy sources, the sun can revolutionize the future of energy and fuel in the world. Therefore, one of the appropriate methods for energy self-sufficiency in the industry of any country is the expansion and use of solar panels.
Method: This study is  applied whose method is descriptive-analytical and based on field studies. The statistical population is Fadavi village in Dashli Borun in Gonbad County with 420 households and a population of 2101 people. The sample size was 210 people using Cochran formula randomly selected from experts, Organia power plant workers and rural households. The reliability of the study was ensured by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.83 and the validity of the study was ensured by content and eye validity. Finally, the data extracted from the questionnaire were measured and analyzed using Friedman test, Wilcoxon test and regression.
Findings: The results of Friedman test determined each point of importance. According to the results of the Wilcoxon test, the economic indicators increased by up to 99% after the establishment of the Organia industry. The result of the regression test, which is consistent with the effect of Organia’s work on the economic conditions of the village houses, shows that the heads of the country are more than mortal and have developed more or less completely and unimpressed.
Conclusion: Human need for energy is continuously increasing and fossil energy sources are decreasing. Considering that the excessive use of fossil fuel threatens the life of creatures. In addition to correcting the current consumption pattern, the use of renewable energy such as solar energy is considered a key solution.
