In September 2021, the LCOE of rooftop PV systems in Saudi Arabia ranged from 0.05 to 0.08 $/kWh. By 2020, the installed solar PV capacity in Saudi Arabia had grown to 5.6 GW, with distributed solar PV systems, including rooftops, accounting for 2.6 GW of this total capacity.
Initial rooftop PV system utilisation factors ranged from 21 % to 49 %. Average electricity savings for buildings in Saudi Arabia are approximately 35 %. Performance ratios range from 77 % to 84.27 % across various regions. The resulting mean LCOE for rooftop PV systems is $0.0445 per kWh.
Rooftop PV systems in Saudi Arabia face climate challenges, such as extreme heat, dust, sandstorms, humidity-related corrosion, intense sunlight, and low rainfall, affecting their efficiency and performance [, , ].
The focus has been on optimal azimuth and tilt angles in Saudi Arabia and desert regions to determine the optimal orientation for installing PV modules on rooftops and urban areas to optimise PV power generation. PV systems are strategically positioned and angled to maximise their exposure to solar radiation .
Levelized cost of electricity of distributed PV systems The LCOE for rooftop PV systems in Saudi Arabia can fluctuate based on several factors, including system size, PV module type, location, installation expenses, and financial arrangements.
The PV system emerges as the most cost-effective energy option with a production cost of $1.06/kWh, surpassing the wind turbine, diesel generator, and solar power tower systems in economic efficiency . Saudi Arabia is rapidly deploying PV systems, with initiatives like the Sakaka and Layla Al-Aflaj solar projects.
