Solar Energy Systems

Solar PV systems sized to your actual consumption, designed for Saudi heat and dust, and delivered from site survey to grid connection.

Lower electricity bills from a system designed around your real load

Modern residential villa with rooftop solar panels

Overview

A solar energy system converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels, inverters and protection equipment. It can be installed on roofs, on the ground or over car parks, and can be connected to the grid, combined with batteries, or both. A well-designed system is sized to the site's consumption profile, its available area and the applicable connection rules, so that the energy it produces is actually used and the investment pays back as planned.

Saudi Arabia has some of the strongest solar resources in the world, and the national energy programme places renewables at the centre of the future electricity mix. For property owners and industrial operators this creates a practical opportunity: generate part of your own electricity on your roofs, land or car parks, reduce what you buy from the grid, and show measurable progress on sustainability commitments.

The results depend on decisions made before any panel is installed. Oversized systems export energy with little value, undersized systems leave savings on the table, and designs that ignore heat, dust, roof condition or shading underperform for their whole life. Connection approvals, equipment conformity and safe electrical integration also need to be planned from the start rather than solved on site.

Selorin delivers solar projects for villas and residential units, residential compounds, factories and commercial buildings. We analyse your consumption and bills, survey the site, model the expected production, and design a system that fits your roof or land and your budget. We then manage approvals and grid connection, procure conformant equipment, supervise installation and commission the system, and can remain responsible for operation and maintenance afterwards.

When you need this service

You may need this service when:

  • Your electricity bills are high and you want to generate part of your own consumption.
  • You are developing or operating a residential compound and want shared solar for common areas or units.
  • Your factory has large roofs or land and daytime loads that match solar production.
  • You need to show tenants, investors or authorities a credible renewable energy contribution.
  • You want shaded parking that also produces electricity (solar carports).
  • An existing system is underperforming and you need an independent review.

What we deliver

01

Consumption and bill analysis

Review of your electricity bills and load profile to establish how much solar energy the site can use and the realistic savings.

02

Site survey and shading study

Inspection of roofs, land or car parks, including structure, orientation, obstructions, access and the point of connection.

03

System design and yield model

Panel layout, inverter and protection design, cabling and earthing, with a production estimate that accounts for heat and dust losses.

04

Approvals and grid connection

Preparation of the technical file and coordination of the connection process and bidirectional metering with the electricity provider.

05

Supply, installation and commissioning

Procurement of conformant equipment, supervised installation by qualified electrical teams, testing and handover.

06

Monitoring and performance follow-up

Remote production monitoring and periodic performance reports, so losses are detected early.

Our approach

  1. Understand your demand

    We analyse bills and operating hours to define the target share of solar and the right system size.

  2. Survey and design

    We survey the site and prepare the design and production model, with clear options and costs.

  3. Approve and connect

    We prepare the technical file and manage the connection and metering process.

  4. Install and commission

    We supply and install the system, test it against the design and hand it over with full documentation.

  5. Operate and improve

    We monitor production, clean and maintain the system, and report performance against the model.

Regulatory context

  • Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Renewable Energy Program, which target a large share of electricity from renewable sources.
  • Water and Electricity Regulatory Authority (WERA) rules for small-scale grid-connected solar PV systems and the related billing arrangements.
  • Connection requirements and bidirectional metering of the Saudi Electricity Company.
  • SASO conformity requirements for PV modules, inverters and electrical equipment, and the electrical and fire-safety provisions of the Saudi Building Code.

Requirements vary by activity, location and permit conditions. We confirm the applicable requirements for your project at the start of every engagement.

Frequently asked questions

How much can a solar system reduce my electricity bill?

It depends on how much of your consumption happens during daylight hours, the area available and the system size. We calculate the expected savings from your actual bills and site survey before you decide, and show the assumptions behind the estimate.

Can solar be installed on villas and residential compounds?

Yes. For villas we usually design rooftop systems sized to the household's daytime consumption. For compounds we can supply common areas, individual units or shared car-park structures, depending on the metering arrangement and the owner's objectives.

Does the heat and dust in Saudi Arabia affect the panels?

High temperatures reduce panel efficiency and dust reduces the light reaching the cells. We account for both in the design and production model, select suitable equipment and plan a cleaning and maintenance schedule that keeps losses low.

Do I need approval to connect a solar system to the grid?

Grid-connected systems require approval and a connection process with the electricity provider, including suitable metering. We prepare the technical file and coordinate the process as part of the project.

Can solar be combined with batteries or EV chargers?

Yes. Batteries allow solar energy to be used in the evening or during peaks, and solar carports can supply EV chargers. We design these combinations as one integrated system.
