Abstract : There is increasing interest in the renewable energy sources, particularly after the increase of greenhouse gases due to the burning of the fossil fuel. Solar power has the lion's share of this interest in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia because it is located in the so-called sun belt, ensuring their exposure to large amounts of sunlight all over the year. The study aims to highlight the importance of the solar power in Jeddah and the ability to use this power in supplying the lighting poles of Al-Haramain Highway in Jeddah. It also aims to recognize the financial and environmental feasibility of using the solar power and the electrical loads saved for the electricity company. The study used the descriptive method to describe the aspects of energy in general and the solar power in particular. It also used the quantitative method to analyze the solar radiation data in Jeddah and calculate the cost of supplying the lighting poles of Al-Haramain Highway in Jeddah to realize its economic feasibility as an alternate of the power generators. The Renewable Resources Atlas of Saudi Arabia showed that the average solar radiation in Jeddah ranged between 3909.4 and 5850 Watt/ m2 in 2015. This amount of the solar power is sufficient to supply the lighting poles if a proposed solution is applied to overcome the problem of the high operational capacity of the lighting poles, whether through construction of an independent solar power plants to supply the lighting poles with the required loads or reengineer the lighting poles in the Highway. The implementation of this project will be beneficial in saving about SAR 36 million within 20 years, reducing 2942.38 ton/ year of the air pollutant emissions, and reducing pressure on electricity by 15879689 kWh/ year. The study recommends the use of the solar power for its contribution to reduce the environmental pollution resulting from the burning of fossil fuels, reduce pressure on electricity, and save huge amounts on the long term. The study encourages the research in all fields of the solar power to define the optimal use of it and the manufacturing of the solar system materials locally to reduce their costs and achieve the utmost economic benefit throughout the country. The study encourages also on providing the financial support to population to adopt the solar mini PV systems.
