Realizing renewable resilience: Lessons from the Middle East for the global energy transition

“…The country’s primary renewable resource is solar energy 35 ; most capacity is located in the central part of the country, where the strongest solar resource can be found. 80 , 81 Horizontal single-axis tracking (HSAT) PV is preferred in recent projects as it has a higher energy yield when compared to fixed tilt PV in desert environments. 82 Concentrated solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage (TES) has also been pursued as a solution for low-cost overnight solar energy storage.…”
