Design Procedure of Resident House Grid Connected PV System in KSA

Saleh Habeeb Al-Habeeb & Abdulaziz A. Al-Kuhayli
Abstract

In recent years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has shown interest in adopting re-newable technologies on a larger scale. The residential sector consumes around 50% of the country's total electricity generation. Therefore, the introduction of photovoltaic technology in the residential sector can help the country cope with its rapidly growing electricity demand and carbon emissions. It is estimated that electricity tariffs would have to increase by at least 750% or 350% (with a 50% capital investment incentive pro-vided by the government) for GCPV to be cost-effective. The Saudi government is maxim-izing the use of renewable energy to generate electricity. Investing in solar power in Saudi Arabia is important as the country's load demand is growing rapidly. This research aims at defining the procedure of designing a resident house grid-connected PV system in Saudi Arabia.
