Solar energy in Mecca

We supply Makkah Al-Mukarramah with solar energy systems, mounting structures and cooling products from our factory in Al-Kharj, and installation is available for large systems.

How many panels are produced in Mecca?

Average daily solar power output varies by season in Mecca, with the optimal tilt angle for fixed panels being approximately 19° towards the south. Source: NASA POWER data via profileSOLAR.

summer

7.69 kWh per day per 1 kW of panels (theoretical average before losses).

autumn

6.24 kWh per day per 1 kW of panels (theoretical average before losses).

winter

5.23 kWh per day per 1 kW of panels (theoretical average before losses).

the spring

7.78 kWh per day per 1 kW of panels (theoretical average before losses).

Example: A 10 kW system in Mecca

An approximate calculation helps you imagine the size, and the actual number is determined after further study.

  • Theoretical average production: 6.74 kWh per day per kW
  • We deduct approximately 20% for losses (heat, dust, cables, inverter)
  • Output: Approximately 1,970 kWh per year per kW of panels
  • 10 kW system: approximately 19,700 kWh per year

The actual figure depends on

  • Surface orientation and inclination, and shadows
  • Panel type and inverter
  • Cleaning and maintenance
  • Consumption and storage methods

Climate considerations in Mecca

High temperatures most of the year

The heat in Mecca is high even outside of summer, so we choose panels and inverters that can withstand the heat, and we pay attention to the ventilation of the inverter and the place where it is installed.

Stable production throughout the year

The difference between summer and winter production is less than in the central cities, and this helps to estimate production that is almost constant throughout the year.

Dusting and panel cleaning

Dust accumulation reduces production, and periodic cleaning and monitoring of mobile production maintains system performance.
