The Commercial and Industrial (C&I) solar market in Saudi Arabia is rapidly expanding, driven by regulatory mandates, declining solar component costs, and lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Government policies are creating a favorable environment for businesses to adopt solar, while technological advancements further enhance feasibility. However, challenges remain, including the need for experienced developers to secure financing and optimize plant design for efficiency and reliability. The role of cutting-edge solar technologies, such as bifacial modules and innovative system designs, is becoming increasingly significant in boosting adoption and maximizing energy yields.
