Power generation by using Photovoltaic systems for Yanbu and Rabigh regions in Saudi Arabia: a cost-effective study

Saudi Arabia's power producing capacity will need to be expanded to meet anticipated increases in energy consumption. The expansion of solar energy consumption in Saudi Arabia has a promising future, owing to the availability of strong solar radiation, a huge rain-free territory, and lengthy sunshine. The Kingdom intends to enhance solar energy generation in order to fulfill a significant portion of the nation's future energy requirements. To accomplish its solar energy aims, the monarchy is now undertaking a variety of installations and research projects. As a result, the most current improvements to the country's solar business are critical for advancing Research and Development (R&D). The area of Yanbu and Rabigh was previously studied by the student Qasim Alabdali in 2021. In this research, the student Abdulaziz Shendi will continue the previous research by studying the two areas in addition to drawing using the SketchUp program and a feasibility study of total costs for the project. Current situation of the Saudi Arabian solar sector and its prospective possibilities. Additionally, the study initiative intends to conduct a comprehensive research study of the Yanbu and Rabigh areas of the Kingdom. For the Yanbu and Rabigh area, a feasibility study will be done in order to determine if solar energy can be produced there and whether there are acceptable locations and amounts of energy produced. As well as securing the top high-efficiency solar panel manufacturers and incorporating their products into the PVsyst program for use in our studies. First, select the appropriate sort of solar cells for Yanbu and Rabigh areas. Then, calculate the project's total cost in Saudi riyals for the On-Grid system. Besides, using SketchUp program, create a 2D or 3D model of an integrated On-Grid system. Finally, select the study region on the map and use PVsyst program to compute the area.
