The country aims to install 50 GW of solar capacity by 2030. Major projects include the 300-MW Sakaka solar plant, the 420-MW Sudair solar park, and the planned 2-GW Al-Shuaibah solar project. Saudi Arabia is also exploring innovative applications like floating solar farms on its reservoirs.
The Lunch of Saudi Solar Energy Program Sakaka, Al Shuaibah, and Sudair Solar Energy Projects have been completed By 2030, the gaol is 40GW PV solar and 2.7GW (CSP) concentrated solar power capacity
The Saudi agency in charge of developing the nations renewable energy sector, Ka-care, announced in May 2012 that the nation would install 41 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity by 2032. It was projected to be composed of 25 GW of solar thermal, and 16 GW of photovoltaics.
Solar As one of the sunniest countries in the world, Saudi Arabia has an abundance of solar energy resources. The country aims to install 50 GW of solar capacity by 2030. Major projects include the 300-MW Sakaka solar plant, the 420-MW Sudair solar park, and the planned 2-GW Al-Shuaibah solar project.
Ted Sargent from Northwestern University, USA, speaking at the KAUST research conference, said that Saudi Arabia had three critical advantages when it comes to deploying photovoltaic technology. The first is KAUST’s expertise in tandem solar cells.
1,100 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaics and 900 megawatts of concentrated solar thermal (CSP) was expected to be completed by early 2013. Also in 2013, solar power in Saudi Arabia had achieved grid parity and was able to produce electricity at costs comparable to conventional sources.
