The research aims to demonstrate the climate impacts in Kuwait on the efficiency of solar cells in the electricity production network, and to analyze climate constraints and problems related to the use of solar energy in electricity production. The study specifically aims to demonstrate the impact of high temperatures and the potential effects of sand and sandstorms, and certainly to find potential technical solutions. To increase the efficiency of solar cells in Kuwait’s climatic environment, based on the importance of the topic as it is an addition to engineering studies, as it highlights the benefits of using solar energy in producing electricity, and through the use of the descriptive approach and the analytical approach, several results were reached, the most important of which was, The high temperature under which solar panels operate is one of the most important factors that affect their productivity, and The methods of installing solar cells may affect their exposure to solar radiation, which affects the efficiency of electricity production, The study recommends using smart prediction systems based on AI and programming these systems to operate only when temperatures rise above certain levels to save energy. We also recommend using machine learning to perform preventive and regular maintenance and monitor the performance of solar panels.
