Abstract
Given the rapid expansion of solar energy projects, it is essential to have supply chains that are data-driven and efficient․ However, the solar energy supply chain is fragmented․ A systematic literature review based on the PRISMA model was conducted to investigate the current state of digital and artificial intelligence-based supply chain integration in the solar energy industry in the United Arab Emirates․ Studies that meet the criteria will be published between 2014 and 2026 from various databases and analyzed for relevance to the research questions proposed here․ The review will investigate various technologies, the successful factors for implementing them in supply chains, the challenges of using these technologies in supply chains, the functions of supply chains in the solar energy industry, and the performance of those supply chains utilizing these technologies․ The outcomes of this study will contribute to the discussion of how AI and digital technologies could be applied to enhance the integration of supply chains in the solar energy industry․
