Save the DATE : Nov. 13th - Desert Solar in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

"In order to achieve Saudi Arabia’s 6000MW goal for 2020, some 10,000 solar modules will need to be installed each day for the coming 7 years. Furthermore, limiting domestic oil consumption in order to boost lucrative oil exports can create huge opportunities for the country and the leading Saudi businesses."

What will be the resulting business opportunities? How will the desert conditions impact PV power plant performance? What are the experiences with high temperatures and dust in relation to solar PV in Saudi Arabia?
The PV conference Desert Solar in Saudi Arabia, on 13 November in Riyadh, will offer a unique opportunity to meet the experts and key stakeholders over the course of one day. It is also the perfect platform to build partnerships with experienced foreign companies. A group of about twenty international high-level solar PV executives, who are taking part in our International PV trade mission to Saudi Arabia, will be joining the conference looking for partnership opportunities.

The sustainable drivers creating huge market potential

Saudi Arabia has a relatively stable political climate and has experienced a sustainable economic growth of 5-7% per year in the last three years. The ambitious solar PV target is 6000 MW of PV capacity by 2020, which would mean the installation of 10,000 solar panels per day. The total electricity consumption, of which 70% is used for air conditioning, is expected to increase around 5% per annum, resulting in an additional power capacity requirement exceeding 60 GW. Saudi Arabia has the financial power and institution to provide the required financing. The Kingdom is blessed with abundant solar irradiation, and has plenty of cheap land available. Covering just 0.12% of the total Arabian Desert area with solar PV would be sufficient to power the whole country. Finally, oil exports can be boosted by using solar for domestic electricity production. Currently, two-thirds of the electricity is generated through domestic petroleum inputs. Reports predict that, if further action is not taken, Saudi Arabia will need all its oil for internal electricity production in the year 2035.
