The challenges of Solar Energy in Saudi Arabia and The Desert Areas
Abstract
Saudi Arabia, the epicenter of the global oil industry, has been showing keen interest in solar energy in recent years. In addition to the plentiful availability of empty stretches of desert that may accommodate infrastructure for solar power projects, however, there are many obstacles and problems facing solar energy and solar panels in climate conditions such as high temperatures, dust, and humidity because they will create many challenges and opportunities. So, these are effects on photovoltaic plants and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants. The purpose of this study is to present a review of the available solutions to these challenges and discuss these solutions, and I will draw my own conclusion.
