In his research, Alghamdi (Alghamdi, 2018) concludes that using PVs to construct a hospital in Dammam is a viable option despite grid power interruptions. The simulated grid-connected PV system provided the most economical solution in all scenarios, with a sellback rate higher than the grid energy price by 5%, yielding the optimum solution.
He also estimated the cost required for different combinations of solar thermal energy, solid biomass, and solar-PV energy to supply the hospital's energy demand and provide that it would be profitable to replace conventional energy sources. Meanwhile, in Iraq, in their study Ali (Ali, 2021) designed a PV system for a hospital in Mosul city.
They found that the solar fraction cooling and heating for the established solar collectors' system size can reach as high as 74% and 71%, respectively. Lima et al. (Lima et al., 2015) use simulation to study the technical and financial viability of a water solar collecting system for a hospital laundry in Brazil.
Moreover, this study promotes the adoption of solar systems in GCC and Middle East healthcare facilities to achieve energy efficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability.
Riyadh, July 22, 2025, SPA -- The National Energy Services Company (Tarshid) and Al-Iman General Hospital in Riyadh have completed the installation of solar panels and systems across the hospital''s
Within this framework, the authors have evaluated the economic and technical feasibility of using a combination of solar PV systems and central energy storage systems in the health sectors.
Tarshid completes a 638 kW rooftop solar panel installation at Al-Iman General Hospital in Riyadh, cutting energy use by 4.4% and reducing annual CO₂ emissions by 560 tons as part of
Design and Modelling of Sola r Energy Syst em for Electrification for a Hospital in Saudi Arabia Mohammed A. Bakheet ABSTRACT Electricity is crucial for del ivering services suc h as
From the above analysis, it was found that few studies on energy saving and carbon reduction have been carried out specifically for hospital projects, especially for the design of PV
Most existing research in this field focuses on single-source solar energy and is often limited to simulation-based investigations. The current study aims to bridge this gap by conducting a
