Solar Panel Installation

DEWA Certified Experts

Go solar in Dubai and benefit from DEWA’s Shams Dubai program — net metering that credits you for excess electricity. Whether you own a villa, warehouse, or commercial building, we handle all DEWA approvals and deliver turnkey solar solutions.

Shams Dubai Program

Dubai leads the UAE with its Shams Program — allowing property owners to install solar panels and benefit from true net metering. Generate clean electricity, export excess to DEWA’s grid, and earn credits that dramatically reduce your bills. Credits automatically roll over each month, giving you maximum savings all year.

How it works :

Your solar system exports excess electricity to DEWA's grid through a bi-directional meter. Credits accumulate during the day and offset your evening/night consumption. Monthly bill shows: Total Consumption - Solar Credits = Net Amount Due.

Result :

40–95% electricity bill reduction possible, with payback periods of 3.5–5 years for most installations.

Available Solar Solutions in Dubai

Dubai properties can benefit from all three solar configurations.

On-Grid Solar with Net Metering

Connect to DEWA, use solar during the day, and export any excess back to the grid for credits that offset your night usage. No batteries needed — net metering acts as your virtual storage.
Best for : Villas, apartments & commercial properties wanting maximum savings with the fastest payback.
Payback : 3.5–5 years | Bill reduction: up to 95%.
How it Works

Hybrid Solar with Battery + Net Metering

Solar panels plus battery storage plus DEWA grid connection. Store solar for evening use AND earn credits from any remaining excess — the best of all worlds.
Best for : Properties that want backup power during outages on top of maximum bill savings.
Payback : 5–7 years
How it Works

Off-Grid Solar

Fully independent from DEWA — solar + battery + generator with no grid connection.
Best for : Remote Dubai properties without DEWA access. Rarely needed in Dubai but available where required.
How it Works

Dubai Advantage: Unlike other Emirates, DEWA credits roll over monthly — so every kWh your panels produce is never wasted, even on low-consumption days.

FAQs

~6-7 m² per kW. Examples: 5 kW = ~35 m² | 8 kW = ~55 m² | 10 kW = ~70 m². We account for shading, obstructions (AC units, tanks), and optimal orientation.

Panels work but at 30-60% output during storm (temporary). Main issue is dust accumulation over time. Regular cleaning every 4-6 weeks essential to maintain performance.

Dubai HAS net metering (Shams Dubai) — that's what makes it so valuable! Every kWh you produce either reduces your consumption or earns credits. This is why Dubai delivers the best solar ROI in UAE.

No. Net metering acts as "virtual storage" — grid banks your excess for night use via credits. Batteries only needed if you want backup power during outages. Most Dubai customers choose on-grid (no battery) for best ROI.
