Saih Al-Dahal(Community: 971) is a small bedouin community located 50 km south of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. [1] It is the location where Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park has been commissioned in 2013 by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. [2]

The location (of the community) has a very less population density and further testing showed the lowest accumulation of dust and smaller particle surface area which directly reduces the spectral soiling losses in case of solar power plants. [3]

Solar power in the United Arab Emirates has the potential to provide most of the country's electricity demand. While being a major oil producing country, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken steps to introduce solar power on a large scale. However, solar power still accounts for a small share of energy production in the country. The country was the 6th top carbon dioxide emitter per capita in the world in 2009, with 40.31 tonnes, but is planning to generate half of its electrical energy by 2050 from solar and nuclear sources, targeting 44% renewables, 38% gas, 12% coal, and 6% nuclear energy sources.
