Solar PV Group

Transforming light into electricity

The Solar PV group at SET center has emerged from the strategic collaboration between the College of science, college of engineering and SET center. Our vision is that Saudi Arabia should have  a leading position in the solar PV technology due to its high sun radiation during the whole year as well as other attractive factors such as the availability of wide areas needed for PV installations. Our objectives in PV group are:

• Developing  of new materials for solar PV applications as well as enhancing the performance  of  the existing materials.
• Decreasing the negative impact of the harsh environment (Temperature and dust) of Saudi Arabia on solar panels 
• Fabrication of thin films materials for smart windows applications
