This study has provided valuable insights into the utilisation, potential, and challenges of distributed PV systems in Saudi Arabia, offering findings that are applicable to many MENA countries with similar climate conditions. By analysing UF, PR, energy savings, electricity rates, and economic viability, several key conclusions have emerged.
In Saudi Arabia, each of the two awarded rounds of the Renewable Energy Project Development Ofice (REPDO) auctions, totaling 2.17 GW, in addition to the PIF-led projects, has received record-low prices. The 300 MW Sakkaka solar PV project, the first project under REPDO, set a record tarif of 1.34 USD cents/kWh in February 2018.
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.
Present conditions of solar plant projects in Saudi Arabia . The Gulf states achieved 146 GW installed power capacity by 2020, with renewables at 3.27 GW. Solar PV dominates at 71 %, followed by CSP, biomass, and wind. UAE leads in adoption at 68 %, Saudi Arabia at 16 %, and Kuwait, as shown in Fig. 4.
The research findings indicate that it is feasible to establish an economical PV system in Riyadh, offering a 77 % PR and a normalised LCOE of 0.061 USD/kWh. This setup entails an ROI period of 16.8 years and involves a CAPEX of USD 3,982,655.
