Who would have thought that Saudi Arabia, an oil kingdom, is using Chinese technology to transform itself into a global solar power? Why should the oil kingdom embrace solar energy? Because it can sell $20 billion more oil every year. Saudi Arabia
used to rely on fossil fuels for one third of its electricity. It forgoes more than $20 billion in oil export revenue every year. Now, with China's photovoltaic power generation technology, Saudi Arabia can not only continue to depend on the weather for food, but also export all the fossil fuels saved.
With the support of China's photovoltaic industry, Saudi Arabia is building large-scale solar power plants and giant battery arrays. In July, Saudi Arabia announced that it would invest $8.3 billion in 15 gigawatts of renewable energy projects, mostly solar. Chinese enterprises have played a key role in this.
China's photovoltaic panels not only make electricity grow in the desert, but also give Saudi Arabia tourism, manufacturing and future A! Inject power into the data center. There are 5 hotels in the Red Sea tourist area of Saudi Arabia. Now it is powered by solar energy and energy storage systems built by Chinese enterprises.
Saudi Arabia imported solar panels from China in 2024 with a capacity of more than 16 watts, which has become one of the main markets for China's photovoltaic exports.
China's solar panels can turn oil powers into clean energy, make green electricity grow in deserts, and promote changes in the global energy pattern. This is the power of China's industry. We are not only the world's factory, but also a positive force for global progress.
