Abstract

The study shows that oil production and consumption in the various sectors accounted for over 80% of the rising GHG emissions, especially CO2. Additionally, the study examines the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using computational modelling. The results show that the yearly average global horizontal irradiation, direct normal radiation and diffuse horizontal irradiations are 2244, 1967 and 863.3 kWh/m2, respectively. Other results are the yearly sum of monthly global tilted irradiation (GTI) and an average yearly daily sum of GTI are 2348.4 and 6.44 kWh/m2, respectively. These results show that Jeddah has huge solar PV potential.
