A practical payback-period calculation for the Saudi context.
The question we hear most often from clients: is solar energy worth its extra cost? The answer depends on three factors: the building's actual consumption, local electricity tariffs, and the system's expected lifespan.
In our experience, the payback period ranges between 5 and 8 years for average-consumption residential and commercial buildings in the Kingdom, with the panels themselves operating for more than 25 years.
We therefore advise every client to base their feasibility study on actual consumption data before committing, not on general estimates.
