•The PV market has maintained robust growth despite volatility associated with reliance on a limited number of markets in the

past years. 2012 marked a pivotal year for geographic diversification, and we have begun to see significant demand growth from

multiple markets.

•2008-2012: Europe dominated the global PV market.

•2013-2015: Growth in markets outside of Europe, especially in China, the U.S. and Japan, will drive global PV industrydevelopment.

Factors Driving Solar Investments in MENA

1. Massive Projects Underway –

more than 40 projects greater

than 10 MW

2. Depleting GAS Resources

3. Broadening out of UAE

4. More Grid Connected Solar

Roof Tops

MENA Solar Energy

Oil price has moved from $120 to

$40 a barrel – this affects the

functioning of power plant. The fuel

price for solar is always ZERO

Less Price Fluctuations

More the consumption – less

expensive is the production of

Solar Energy

Opposite Growth Drivers

solar power plants produce

almost no CO2 emissions

whereas oil-based power

plants, generate hydrogen

sulphide (H2S) or carbon

dioxide (CO2).

Solar is Green Energy

In spite of recent drop in oil

prices in 2014, solar power

remains competitive. For one, oil

accounts for only 5% of global

electricity production.

Electricity has low oil

dependency
