Abstract

This paper describes the lessons learned from the major RD&D activities at Energy Research Institute (ERI), King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology (KACST) in the field of solar energy. Photovoltaic, solar thermal dishes, solar water heating, solar water pumping and desalination, solar hydrogen production and utilization are some of the areas studied for solar energy applications. Recommendations and guidelines for future solar energy research, development, demonstration and dissemination in Saudi Arabia are also given.
