Question 1

How much does a solar system cost in Dubai in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Solar system costs in Dubai range from AED 18,000–28,000 for a 3–5 kWp residential system to AED 180,000–350,000 for a 50–100 kWp commercial system. Typical residential payback under Shams Dubai net-metering is 3.5–5 years. Battery storage adds AED 15,000–25,000.

Question 2

What is the Shams Dubai net-metering programme?

Accepted Answer

Shams Dubai is DEWA's net-metering initiative that allows property owners to install rooftop solar and export surplus energy to the grid in exchange for bill credits. DEWA NOC approval typically takes 10–15 business days. Only DEWA-approved contractors using Tier-1 panels and inverters are eligible.

Question 3

Is Harutto Solar DEWA-approved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Harutto Solar is a DEWA-approved and Shams Dubai registered EPC contractor. All designs comply with DEWA regulatory and safety standards. We use only Tier-1 panels (Jinko Solar, Canadian Solar, LONGi) and approved inverters.

Question 4

How long does solar installation take in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Residential Shams Dubai installations typically take 3–6 weeks from site survey to commissioning, including DEWA NOC approval (10–15 business days). Off-grid systems: 2–6 weeks. Containerized power systems: 6–10 weeks.

Question 5

Does Harutto Solar work on projects outside the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Harutto Solar delivers off-grid solar, containerized power, and cold chain solar solutions for industrial and mining sites in Nigeria, DR Congo, and broader sub-Saharan Africa, as well as GCC markets including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, and Kenya.

Question 6

What is cold chain solar and who uses it?

Accepted Answer

Cold chain solar uses off-grid or hybrid solar power to run temperature-controlled refrigeration and storage without grid connection. It's used for pharmaceutical storage, food distribution, and agriculture in areas with unreliable power — particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and remote UAE sites.

Question 7

What warranty do Harutto Solar panels and systems carry?

Accepted Answer

Harutto Solar systems carry 25-year performance warranties on Tier-1 panels, 5–10 year inverter warranties (by model), 5-year battery warranties on solar light towers, and 5-year workmanship warranties on containerized systems. All warranties are backed by Tier-1 manufacturer guarantees.

Question 8

How do I calculate my solar ROI in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Use Harutto Solar's free ROI calculator at haruttosolar.com/calculator. Enter your monthly DEWA bill (AED) and optional roof size. The tool calculates recommended system size, annual kWh generation, annual AED savings, and payback period based on current DEWA tariff rates (AED 0.23–0.44/kWh).
