    <abstract language="eng">This paper presents an analytical study of photovoltaic (PV) power generation of two regions in Saudi Arabia. Renewable energy resources have recently been acknowledged as a vital component of global economic stability, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a vibrant country that is experiencing significant population increase, which has resulted in high electricity usage. Because of the strong solar radiation, huge rainless area, and lengthy sunlight, Saudi Arabia has a bright future in terms of using solar energy more broadly. As a result, the Saudi Arabian government has invested billions of dollars in large-scale renewable and sustainable energy projects around the country, backed by strong funding. Saudi Arabia wants to boost solar power output to meet a large amount of the country's prospective energy needs. Various installations and research projects are currently being carried out throughout the kingdom to meet its solar power ambitions. As a result, it is critical to keep up with the latest developments in the solar business in the country. Development and Research (R&amp;D). In this work a simulation (PVsyst 7.1) software program to simulate the installation of PV cells on two regions of Saudi Arabia including Al-Al-Riyadh and Al-Jubail regions. Also, the possibility of using the tracker system to track the sunshine and generate more power from PV systems is discussed. This paper presents, however, is a partnership and it intends to examine the existing state, growth, potential, resources, sustainability performance, and prospects of renewable energy in Saudi Arabia in accordance with Saudi Vision 2030.</abstract>
