Technology promulgation is one of the most important objectives of the innovation system, particularly in the developing countries and it is also viewed as a difficult issue in the face of the policy-makers. Renewable energy is one of the sectors seriously faced with the issue of technology promulgation. During the recent years, supporting the expansion of renewable energies has drawn a lot of attention in Iran; however, the people are still not so willing in using such energies. Thus, the present study aims at the role of factors influencing the acceptance and application of solar energy in the sport places in line with technology promulgation for the case study of the sport places in the city of Ardabil. The data have been collected based on a field method and the instrument used for doing so is a researcher-constructed questionnaire the validity of which was confirmed by the experts and professors and its reliability was equal to 0.89 based on Cronbach’s alpha test hence optimum for social studies. The study sampling method was purposive. Specialists and informed sport agents were asked to complete the questionnaire. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was the method of choice for data analysis parallel to the identification of data normality and one-sample t-test was employed for the investigation of the significance of the variables related to the factors influencing the acceptance and application of solar energy in sport places in line with technology promulgation; moreover, to determine and rate the most important factors influencing the acceptance and application of the solar energy in sport places in line with technology promulgation, use was made of Friedman test in SPSS software environment. Based on the results of the one-sample t-test, all of the studied variables were found statistically significant hence having effects on the factors influencing the acceptance and application of solar technology in sport places in line with technology promulgation. Furthermore, the results obtained from the current research signified that managerial, economic, policy-making, attitudinal, educational, social, legal and finally technical factors are respectively the most important factors influencing the acceptance and application of solar technology in sport places in line with technology promulgation in the city of Ardabil.
