Kuwait seeks to promote the use of solar panels as part of its efforts to achieve environmental sustainability.

Feasibility studies confirming the suitability of buildings raise questions about not obligating the commercial and industrial sectors by up to 25%. In addition, the decision includes future buildings only without applying it to current buildings, despite the possibility of installing panels technically and financially.

The President of the Kuwait Sustainable Energy Society, Suad Al-Hussein, stressed the importance of using renewable energy as part of global trends in the public interest. Kuwait must keep pace with this global trend, she added, pointing to the request of the late Emir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad from Germany to install solar panels in 1978, when the first conventional energy station with a capacity of 100 megawatts was established.

Al-Hussein called on the Ministry of Education to install solar panels in schools. All schools are technically suitable for installation, she said, confirming the possibility of schools benefiting from solar energy to feed neighboring buildings during the day.
Al-Hussein called for the installation of solar panels on coastal buildings through the Tourism Projects Company, in addition to cooperative societies, to produce 50% of the electricity from solar panels, noting the necessity of adopting a decision from the Ministry of Social Affairs to generalize this trend.
