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.
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 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 %.
