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. Saudi Arabia’s abundant sunlight, particularly in regions such as the Empty Quarter, gives it a strategic edge in solar power generation. The Kingdom has set a goal to install 50 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, with 40 gigawatts coming from solar projects.

[pdf] As of October 31, 2024, there are 2,811 registered prosumer households across the country, a growing trend driven primarily by the installation of solar panels. These prosumers are not only reducing their energy consumption but are also contributing to the energy grid by generating electricity.
