For commercial and industrial sites
Solar energy for factories and commercial buildings
Sites that use most of their electricity in daytime and have a large roof, land or car park are usually the strongest solar cases in Saudi Arabia. Describe your site and consumption once, and qualified installers send offers designed around your bill and your site.
When is the case clearest for a business?
The higher your consumption during sunshine hours, the more space you have and the steadier your operation through the year, the stronger the case. Factories, cold stores, shopping centres and hotels are clear examples. Sites that use most of their power at night need a closer study or batteries, which changes the numbers. For a large project, ask for an energy audit and feasibility study first.

Questions from business owners
Does solar make sense for my factory?
It depends on your daytime consumption, your tariff and the space available. Large sites with daytime load are usually the strongest cases, but the real numbers need a year of bills and a site survey. See solar for factories and warehouses.
Can I connect the system to the Saudi Electricity Company grid?
There is a regulatory framework for connecting small-scale solar systems to the grid, with requirements, limits and an application through the utility. A qualified installer handles the application. The general picture is in grid-connected solar.
I have several sites — will I get offers for all of them?
Yes. Choose the number of sites in the form; installers able to serve several locations will contact you, and some offer a single O&M contract.
My roof isn’t big enough — what are the alternatives?
If you have land nearby, a ground-mounted plant is an option; if you have a car park, solar carports use the space and shade the cars.
Do offers include maintenance and cleaning?
Some installers include a maintenance period; others offer a separate contract. With dust, regular cleaning makes a real difference to output. See operation and maintenance.
