In this paper, the performance characteristics of a photovoltaic (PV) module are modeled numerically and validated experimentally for the typical climatic conditions of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. . Our vision is that Saudi Arabia should have a leading position in the solar PV technology due to its high sun radiation during the whole year as well as other attractive factors such as the availability of wide areas needed for PV installations. With solar irradiation levels among the highest in the world—averaging over 2,200 kilowatt-hours per square meter annually—the raw. . This study explores the potential of a solar-wind hybrid energy system integrated with hydrogen fuel cell storage to address the limitations of standalone solar and wind power generation in Saudi Arabia. The electrical model is developed using EES software including all the important parameters like cell. .
