The energy crisis is now one of the most controversial issues drawing the attention of many experts in various fields. Solar energy, meanwhile, offers a promising perspective to the world. Iran has one of the highest potentials for exploiting this huge energy source. However, according to the statistics presented at the Second Large-Scale Solar Power Plants Conference held in Tehran in January 2017, Iran’s use of solar energy, despite its extraordinary capacity, is much lower than those of countries such as Germany, which has about one-seventh of Iran’s natural capacities. As in most countries, the construction sector is a major energy consumer in Iran. Therefore, adapting and upgrading this sector solves a large portion of energy problem. Application of solar energy technologies in buildings is a key topic in the sustainable architecture. To clarify and facilitate the acquisition path of renewable energy technologies in the Iranian sustainable architecture, this paper analysed the obstacles to obtaining such technologies prior to proposing a roadmap. For this purpose, the Fuzzy Cognitive Map was employed to identify, priorities, and determine the relationships between research variables. The FCM analysis of each expert and the extensive map revealed that there were 22 main obstacles to the acquisition of solar energy technologies in the Iranian sustainable architecture. Some of the major obstacles include inadequate governmental incentives, perceived risk of industry, etc. Moreover, the experts developed certain scenarios, which were then ranked. With the help of the resultant integrity of the FCM, a roadmap was proposed for the acquisition of solar energy technologies in the Iranian sustainable architecture. The research findings can help industrialists, and would-be competitors gain a realistic insight into the existing industry. It is also hoped that legislators take necessary actions to institutionalise the components of the Iranian sustainable architecture by using the proposed roadmap.
