There is a substantial PV installation project in the Makkah province, which is expected to have a capacity of 2600 MW. This initiative is being progressively developed under the guidance of the Saudi Ministry of Energy. Fig. 3 presents a summary of the current status of solar PV projects in Saudi Arabia [36, 37]. Fig. 3.
Performance ratio of PV systems The PR of PV systems in Saudi Arabia varies due to factors like location, orientation, shading, and PV module quality. However, the country's abundant solar resources and favourable climate enable high PRs. Previous studies show PRs ranging from 77.00 % to 84.27 %, as shown in Fig. 11.
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.
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 .
The current state of distributed PV systems in Saudi Arabia In 2021, homes powered by solar energy constituted approximately 2.02 % of all residential properties in Saudi Arabia. The Riyadh region led with the highest proportion of solar energy adoption at approximately 3.34 %, followed by Makkah at 2.52 % and the Eastern Province at 0.98 %.
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.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
