Moreover, the capacity for solar energy in Saudi Arabia is immense, given its excessive horizontal sun irradiation, ranging between 2,000 and 2,500 kWh/m²/year, one of the highest globally. This ample solar resource positions Saudi Arabia as an excellent location for large-scale solar energy initiatives. The country's strategic move toward energy diversification, driven by the decline in global oil prices and the need for sustainable electricity sources, underscores the pivotal role solar energy will play in the country's future energy landscape.

To enhance the renewable energy capacity and to achieve the monetary benefits associated with this, is the primary aim National Renewable Energy Program of Vision 2030. To manufacture 3.45 GW of renewable energy in 2020 and 9.5 GW in 2023, the initiative demonstrates the government's determination to renewable energy, driving a huge upward push in solar energy demand. Large-scale solar adoption is shown through major projects including the 300 MW solar PV plant in Sakaka and the 2,400 MW wind power plants in Midyan and Dumat Al-Jandal, demonstrating the government's commitment. These actions encourage the utilization of solar energy and also open up possibilities for partnerships between the authorities and private sectors, attracting considerable investments and speeding up the expansion of the solar energy market in Saudi Arabia.
