This situation is likely to lead to growth in the use of solar energy in the future. Kuwait's average solar intake is about 9-11 hours per day, with an average daily solar insolation that can reach more than 7.0 kWh/m2/day. The solar PV installation cost dropped significantly from USD 4,731 per kilowatt to USD 883 per kilowatt in 2021.
Kuwait is in a great spot and has plenty of cash, but the country hasn't seen a surge in solar energy projects due to a lack of official support. As a result, this could dampen the market's expansion over the predicted time frame. The Kuwaiti solar energy market is partially consolidated.
While the installation cost of concentrated solar power was USD 8987 per kilowatt in 2010, it was projected to drop to USD 4700 per kilowatt by 2021.Solar photovoltaics are a better way to make energy than concentrated solar power because they are easier to use and need less maintenance.
The total corporate funding in the global solar sector saw an 11% increase year-on-year at $109.4 billion in the first half of 2019. More than $2.6 trillion has been invested in renewable energy over the past decade.
Most recently, Dubai’s 900 MW solar tender hit another low-price record with $0.0169 per kWh. The continuous drop in costs for solar panels is one of the factors that have contributed to reducing CAPEX of utility-scale projects.
Global solar power capacity increased by more than 25 times in this decade, from almost 23 GW at the beginning of 2010 to 617.9 GW anticipated by the end of 2020. Overall investment in the MENA energy sector could reach $1 trillion by 2023, with the power sector accounting for the largest share of the spending at 36%.
