A Feasibility Study of the Use of Solar Photovoltaic Energy in Saudi
Few studies have been implemented to evaluate whether the renewable energy generation could fit into industrial locations in Saudi Arabia. We completed this feasibility study to investigate whether using photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays to power industrial cities at Saudi Arabia is economically feasible. The case study is a factory in Zulfi city, Riyadh Region. We used
Solar power in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia had about 500 megawatts of renewable electricity capacity in 2020, but targets 60 gigawatts, most of which would come from solar photovoltaics and concentrated solar power, by 2030. [19] This has incentivized announcements for private sector solar projects which have a highly competitive bid price in terms of levelized cost of
