Nowadays, due to the lack of energy and the harmful effects of fossil fuels on the environment, many countries seek to use renewable sources such as solar energy, a clean and free energy source. Direct conversion of solar energy into electricity is the reason for using solar cells. This paper proposes a three-echelon photovoltaic supply chain with two suppliers (domestic and foreign), two power plants (big and small), and a power distribution system with government intervention. We consider three approaches, including (1) the decentralized model, (2) the centralized model, and (3) the government’s role in the photovoltaic supply chain. In the first model, the power distribution system is a leader, and other members are followers. In the second model, we explore the whole supply chain as a centralized model, and in the third model, the government has the leading role, and the rest of the members follow. Indeed, in the last model, the role of the government as a supporter that gives subsidies and tax exemptions to keep members in a competitive market is investigated, and the decision variables of the government (tariffs) are obtained. Finally, based on real example from the power industry of Iran, sensitivity analysis and managerial insights are proposed.
