*2.1. Solar Energy Generation Design for KAU Hospital*

The aim of this study is to construct a solar power plant (SPP) system to generate electricity for KAU Hospital. The hospital is in the KAU campus, the coordinates are [Lat/Lon] 21.290 and 39.130, as shown in Figure 2.

**Figure 2.** Location of the KAU hospital.

The hospital has a very high electricity consumption. Monthly electricity consumption data of KAU hospital for 2018 and 2019 are given in Figure 3. The maximum energy consumption of the hospital is during February, and the minimum consumption is in May.

When the data of 2019 are analyzed, the annual average hourly electricity need of KAU hospital is determined as 21.694 kWh.
