I've been reading a lot about vision 2030 and how all the projects have renewable energy quotas and the state itself wants to produce 50% of its electricity demand using renewables by 2030. So I'd love if one knowledgeable on the topic could help me with these questions.

1. Do you think especially with the climate in Saudi Arabia that its viable for solar panels? By that I mean the constant sand especially that it can be abrasive.
2. Is it a viable business idea if anyone has had exp with gulf governments?
3. How is the current global market and would I be able to import good solar panels at competitive prices? I've read about Pakistan's current solar system which honestly fascinates me so I was thinking if I could import the structure to the gulf market (roof top installations).
4. With the commercial electricity tariffs recently going up to 0.32 SAR/kWh, are private factories and commercial businesses in Riyadh actively looking for rooftop solar right now to cut costs, or are they still hesitating? I totally understand if you don't know but id like a insight on the idea.

I would also appreciate any help regarding risks I should be aware of and if I should move forward with this.

Thank you for reading!!
