Abstract: This study investigates the ideal location for establishing a solar cell farm within Babylon City, considering various factors such as sunlight exposure, land availability, and infrastructure. In addition to improving light absorption and increasing the conversion of light into electricity, nanotechnology can assist break down existing performance obstacles and significantly improve solar energy collecting and conversion. It can also improve thermal storage and transportation. Utilizing GIS and Remote sensing techniques, we assess potential sites to maximize solar energy capture efficiency. Using Arc-GIS version 10.3 and Digital elevation model (DEM) for Babylon city, which is downloaded from (https://search.asf.alaska.edu/) at spatial resolution 12.5 m has been calculated the solar radiation energy for each pixel with in clip image Babylon city. Additionally, economic and environmental considerations are integrated to determine the most sustainable and cost-effective location for the solar cell farm, aiming to contribute to the city's renewable energy goals in this paper hot spot area have been identified. The findings aim to guide stakeholders in making informed decisions for the strategic implementation of solar energy infrastructure in Babylon City.
