Rooftop Solar in Saudi Arabia: Unlocking Residential PV Pote

Saudi Arabia’s abundant solar resources make it an ideal location for harnessing rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, especially in the rapidly growing residential sector. This course explores the feasibility and potential of rooftop PV systems, addressing technical, environmental, and economic considerations. Participants will examine the role of rooftop solar in reducing reliance on fossil fuels, supporting Vision 2030 goals, and meeting residential energy demands sustainably.

Through case studies and modelling tools like ArcGIS and PVsyst, the course provides actionable insights into implementing rooftop PV systems. Learn how to navigate challenges such as shading, roof orientation, and energy efficiency to unlock Saudi Arabia’s PV potential.

Key topics include:

• Designing efficient rooftop PV systems for Saudi residential buildings.
• Overcoming technical and cultural challenges in solar adoption.
• Leveraging modelling tools to optimize energy output.
