Abstract (2. Language): 
Iraq has been subjected to many years of drought and its temperature has risen to unprecedented levels. In 25 years, this country has suffered the scourge of three bloody wars and brutal occupation. All these things have affected the infrastructure of the country and caused great economic, social and scientific imbalance. In this review we study the effect of the current weather in Iraq on the use of solar energy in various applications. The study shows that Iraq is qualified to be a producer of all solar applications and to issue solar electricity to its neighbors. Iraqi researchers have worked hard to study the effects of weather conditions on different solar energy applications and reached important results perhaps the most important is that the weather conditions in Iraq fit all solar applications.
