Based on type, the Inorganic segment dominated the market in 2023, primarily driven by a confluence of technological suitability, economic viability, and strategic government initiatives. This segment encompasses PV cell technologies like crystalline silicon (c-Si) and thin-film PV cells based on materials such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS). These technologies have emerged as frontrunners due to their proven efficiency, reliability, and scalability, aligning perfectly with Saudi Arabia's ambitious renewable energy goals and the unique environmental conditions prevalent in the region.

Crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV cells, both monocrystalline and polycrystalline, represent the backbone of the global PV industry. Their dominance in Saudi Arabia stems from several key advantages. Firstly, c-Si technology boasts high conversion efficiencies, which are crucial in maximizing electricity production from abundant solar irradiance in the kingdom. Saudi Arabia's desert climate, characterized by intense sunlight year-round, makes c-Si PV cells particularly effective in harnessing solar energy consistently and efficiently.

The durability and long operational lifetimes of c-Si PV cells are well-suited to the harsh environmental conditions prevalent in Saudi Arabia. These cells demonstrate robust performance even in extreme temperatures and are resilient against dust and sandstorms, which are common challenges in desert regions. This reliability ensures minimal maintenance requirements and stable energy production over the lifespan of solar installations, thereby reducing operational costs and enhancing economic viability.

In addition to c-Si technology, thin-film PV cells based on materials like CdTe and CIGS have also gained traction in the Saudi market. These technologies offer advantages such as lower manufacturing costs, flexibility in application, and potential for integration into building materials. While they typically exhibit lower efficiencies compared to c-Si PV cells, advancements in thin-film technology have steadily improved their performance metrics, making them increasingly competitive in certain applications and deployment scenarios.

Cost competitiveness plays a pivotal role in driving the adoption of inorganic PV technologies in Saudi Arabia. Over the years, advancements in manufacturing processes, economies of scale, and global supply chain efficiencies have significantly reduced the cost of PV cells, particularly crystalline silicon. The declining costs have made solar energy increasingly attractive compared to conventional fossil fuel sources for electricity generation. In parallel, supportive government policies and incentives, as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, have further bolstered the economic feasibility of deploying inorganic PV technologies. Initiatives led by the Renewable Energy Project Development Office (REPDO), including competitive auctions and tenders for solar projects, have created a conducive environment for investment and expansion in the PV sector.

Strategically, the dominance of the inorganic PV segment aligns with Saudi Arabia's broader goals of enhancing energy security, diversifying the energy mix, and reducing dependency on oil and gas exports for electricity generation. By leveraging the abundant solar resources available, the kingdom aims to establish a robust renewable energy infrastructure that supports sustainable economic growth and environmental stewardship.

The expected dominance of the inorganic segment in the Saudi Arabia PV cells market in 2023 underscores a transformative shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. With technological maturity, economic competitiveness, and strong governmental support driving advancements in PV technology deployment, Saudi Arabia is well-positioned to harness its solar potential and lead the region in renewable energy adoption.
