Abstract :
    In the past decade, with increasing environmental awareness and environmental challenges such as air and water pollution, acid rains, etc. has led to greatly increased environmental concerns. One of the main strategies to reduce environmental pollution is using clean energy and green purchasing. Thus, selecting green supplier for equipment of renewable energy power plants is very important. According to Iran s high potential of solar energy utilization, this study presents an integrated approach for selecting green suppliers of a solar power plant. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach as a practical tool to assist managers in selecting suppliers of solar power plants, taking into account environmental factors.
