The Solar Show KSA 2023, the Kingdom's leading
solar and renewable energy event from 30-31 Oct 2023, attracted many
manufacturers, business persons, distributors, entrepreneurs, practicing
professionals, academicians, students, and startups this year. On behalf of the
Renewable Energy Lab at Prince Sultan University Dr.Umashankar Subramaniam and
Mr.Sivakumar Selvam visited the expo on 30th oct 2023 with EE
students to learn about the latest technologies in energy storage, power
systems, and cable for underground electrical systems. Many local and
international companies providing solar solutions participated in this expo,
such as Solar Arabia, Solar Land Energy, Riyadh cables co, Zayel Solar, Wenzhou
Kinee electric Co., Huawei technologies, Jinko solar, Runergy, Powernsun etc., Building
Integrated PV (BIPV) products attracted the visitors as these products occupies
less space than the regular solar PV panels. Students also had the opportunity
to discuss potential research and solar projects with startups.
Meanwhile,
we had an opportunity to meet the delegates from Solar Arabia who sponsored
Solar Street light for research study purposes to Renewable Energy Lab in the
past. During the event, we discussed with Mr.Dilip Kumar from Solar Arabia on
future research collaboration and support for the PSU solar projects.
