The main technologies Saudi Arabia employs are photovoltaic and concentrated solar power. Of these two, photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most commonly applied throughout Saudi Arabia. They produce clean electricity by converting solar energy through semiconductor materials. Between different PV systems, research shows that sun-tracking systems such as the 1-axis tracking system and the 2-axis tracking system produce the greatest amount of energy compare. [pdf]
Leveraging its abundant sunshine and vast desert areas, Saudi Arabia is now pivoting to solar energy, aligning with its Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy and ensure sustainable growth by reducing oil dependency and investing in renewable energy.
Key locations include Sakaka in Al Jouf Province, Al Shuaibah in Makkah Province, and Sudair in Riyadh Province, among others. These projects capitalize on Saudi Arabia's geographical position and favorable weather conditions to generate solar power. Solar energy is set to expand nationwide.
Solar power in Saudi Arabia has become more important to the country as oil prices have risen. In 2021, 60.89% of energy consumed was produced by burning oil.
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
Saudi Arabia has among of the world's greatest levels of solar radiation, making it one of the best nation suited to use solar energy . Fig. 7 shows the solar PV power potential map for various parts of Saudi Arabia.
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.

Here’s a ballpark range for typical residential solar system installations in Romania (excluding government incentives):Small system (3 kW): €3,000 – €5,000 (US$3,300 – US$5,500)Medium system (5 kW): €5,000 – €8,000 (US$5,500 – US$8,800)Large system (8 kW): €8,000 – €12,000 (US$8,800 – US$13,200). Here’s a ballpark range for typical residential solar system installations in Romania (excluding government incentives):Small system (3 kW): €3,000 – €5,000 (US$3,300 – US$5,500)Medium system (5 kW): €5,000 – €8,000 (US$5,500 – US$8,800)Large system (8 kW): €8,000 – €12,000 (US$8,800 – US$13,200). Romania is set to subsidize households with EUR 610 million for installing solar power panels or four times more than last year. [pdf]
Romania is undergoing a significant expansion in solar power within its broader energy transition framework, bolstered by European funding and legal reforms.
Romania has set an ambitious target to install over 8 Gigawatts of solar energy capacity by 2030, which is anticipated to constitute 24% of its gross final electricity consumption from renewable sources.
Overview of solar PV developments Following a period of lull, Romania has achieved in 2023 a significant milestone in its renewable energy journey – over 1 GW of new solar capacity installed in one year between distributed generation and utility scale projects.
The Romanian market has a good chance to add more cumulative installed PV capacity in the next 2 years, especially under net metering and self-consumption commercial and residential installations. The report provides a complete picture of the market situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects.
Notably, a substantial private investment is set to establish the largest photovoltaic park in Europe in Arad, boasting a capacity of 1000 megawatts across 100 hectares, indicative of Romania’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy infrastructure.
This initiative aims to bolster EU states’ energy savings, clean energy production, and supply diversification. Romania is set to benefit significantly from REPowerEU, with an allocation of 1.4 billion Euros to hasten the green transition and foster renewable energy investments.
