The C&I sector has considerable potential in the Middle East, with and without storage, not only due to the country’s high solar radiation levels but also thanks to the current trajectory of PV module and battery prices, which are constantly decreasing. On the other hand, Saudi companies are looking for effective ways to improve their carbon footprint while optimizing energy consumption.

Edgard Abou Kheir, Technical Service Manager from JinkoSolar, Aseel Alsaadi, Technical Services Manager from JA Solar, and Tarek Alzaaim, Business Development Manager from Trinasolar, will discuss the real prospects of the commercial and industrial (C&I) market in Saudi Arabia and present virtuous business cases showing the path for future development.

We will also discuss an evaluation of the potential levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of C&I projects in the Saudi market, as well as across other Middle Eastern countries, and the factors that affect the return on investment (ROI). Additionally, JinkoSoalr will present the results coming from two field tests the company is operating in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with different types of solar cell technologies being compared under different weather and environmental conditions.

Content of the webinar:

• Evolution of the electricity market in Saudi Arabia and forecasts for the addition of photovoltaic capacities over the next years.
• How current legislation may be improved to further support the segment.
• Case studies of photovoltaic plants in C&I with and without storage.
• Q&A

Questions can be submitted beforehand in the comments window when registering or in the chat during the live webinar. The webinar will be moderated by Emiliano Bellini, News Director at pv magazine, and Solarabic’s CEO, Moneef Barakat.
