Saudi Arabia has developed Saudi Vision 2030, an ambitious plan to reduce the country’s dependence on oil by supporting promising private energy organizations and by developing opportunities that contributes to the national economy. In the manufacturing sector, the government is encouraging technology transfers in the renewable energy industries. It is expected to result in the localization of significant parts of the renewable energy value chain in Saudi Arabia. Solar energy systems are proven renewable energy source globally and domestically, it has its long and vast share of experience, from operations and maintenance, to solar data monitoring and gathering. Wide areas had been identified, where this technology can be highly installed and integrated. Components can be manufactured from locally available raw materials to achieve the final products. This study analyzed the key elements of the value chain for producing crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic systems. This paper presents recommendations for localizing this industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. Although these recommendations are based on the environmental conditions of Saudi Arabia, such are also highly relevant for further application to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, where widespread energy transitions from fossil fuels to renewable resources are already taking place.

沙特阿拉伯王国太阳能光伏产业本地化的现状和未来展望

沙特阿拉伯制定了《沙特远景2030》，这是一项雄心勃勃的计划，旨在通过支持有前途的私营能源组织并开发有助于国民经济的机会来减少该国对石油的依赖。在制造业领域，政府鼓励可再生能源行业进行技术转让。预计将导致沙特阿拉伯可再生能源价值链的重要部分本地化。太阳能系统是全球和国内公认的可再生能源，从操作和维护到太阳能数据监控和收集，它拥有悠久而广泛的经验。已经确定了可以广泛安装和集成该技术的广泛领域。组件可以使用当地可用的原材料制造，以实现最终产品。这项研究分析了生产晶体硅太阳能光伏系统的价值链的关键要素。本文提出了在沙特阿拉伯王国将该行业本地化的建议，以符合《沙特阿拉伯2030年远景目标》的目标。尽管这些建议是基于沙特阿拉伯的环境条件，但对于进一步应用到沙特阿拉伯的其他国家也非常相关。中东和北非地区已经发生了从化石燃料到可再生资源的广泛能源转换。
