Solar plant is based on the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics converts light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.
As light hits the solar panels, the solar radiation is converted into direct current electricity (DC). The direct current flows from the panels and is converted into alternating current (AC) used by local electric utilities. Finally, the electricity travels through transformers, and the voltage is boosted for delivery onto the transmission lines so local electric utilities can distribute the electricity to homes and businesses.
With energy costs and consumption rising at an exponential rate, the need for renewable energy has never been greater. In accordance with the Saudi Vision 2030 plan for energy diversification, Abdul Aziz Ibrahim Al Oufy Trading and Contracting Group brings high quality, cost-competitive solar products to help businesses to ease the burden of the high cost of energy.
As part of Saudi Vision 2030, the government has set a goal to diversify energy in the Kingdom to meet rising demands – and to cement Saudi Arabia’s position as a global energy power.

Saudi businesses today are faced with rapidly rising energy costs and those costs are expected rise even further in the coming years. Switching to an on grid solar solution gives you renewable energy that will help lower your operating expenditures for up to 25 years.
Solar system that connects to the grid to manage power generation and distribution to the property and utilities.
A standalone solar system to generate your own power, ideal for rural and remote areas without a connection to the grid.
Hybrid systems utilize the power of solar with a second energy source, such as diesel or wind.
Saudi Arabian businesses that choose on grid solar energy see a number of short-term and long-term benefits, including:
Saudi businesses can benefit from off grid solar in a number of ways. Sun Capture will customize a design, installation and maintenance plan that allows you to maximize these advantages:
Hybrid solar offers the same advantages as off grid solar and diesel applications. Businesses in Saudi Arabia can expect to see these benefits:
