Solar EPC Contractor in Sharjah
Sharjah's industrial base gives it some of the best commercial solar economics in the UAE. We design, permit and build grid-connected systems in SEWA territory, and know where jurisdiction changes hands.

The Sharjah opportunity
Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority supports net metering for approved solar installations, with excess generation credited against future consumption. Sharjah Sustainable City deployed the emirate's first net-metering system in partnership with SEWA, and the framework has developed from there.
What makes Sharjah commercially interesting is its industrial estates. Al Saja'a, Al Qusais industrial areas and the emirate's manufacturing and warehousing base combine large uninterrupted roof spans with daytime-heavy consumption. That is the profile where solar self-consumption produces its strongest returns, because almost every generated kilowatt-hour displaces a purchased one at retail rates.
Confirm your utility before you design. Sharjah city and the main urban areas are primarily SEWA territory, but EtihadWE covers some northern and eastern Sharjah enclaves. A project in the wrong application queue loses weeks. We establish jurisdiction at survey stage, before any design work begins.
What we build in Sharjah
- Industrial rooftop PV — factories, warehouses and workshops, typically 100 kWp to 2 MWp
- Villa and townhouse systems — residential net metering under SEWA
- Labour accommodation — high, steady daytime load with excellent roof availability
- Battery storage — for facilities running beyond daylight hours
- Car park canopies — shading plus generation
- O&M contracts — cleaning and performance monitoring across the asset life
How we approach a Sharjah project
| Stage | Detail | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Survey and jurisdiction check | Confirm SEWA or EtihadWE, assess roof structure and consumption | Week 1 |
| Design and application | Single line drawings, structural assessment, utility submission | Weeks 2–4 |
| Procurement | Tier-one modules and inverters meeting UAE conformity requirements | Weeks 3–6 |
| Installation | Mounting, module fixing, electrical works and earthing | Weeks 6–10 |
| Testing and energisation | Insulation, polarity and IV-curve testing, utility inspection, meter | Weeks 10–12 |
Durations scale with system size. A townhouse system compresses this considerably; a 2 MWp industrial roof extends it.

Frequently asked questions
Does SEWA allow net metering?
Yes. SEWA supports net metering for approved solar installations, with surplus generation credited against future bills. Applications are made through SEWA for properties in its territory.
Is my Sharjah site under SEWA or EtihadWE?
Sharjah city and the main urban areas are primarily SEWA territory, while EtihadWE covers some northern and eastern enclaves of the emirate. Jurisdiction should be confirmed with both utilities before starting an application, and we do this at survey stage.
What size solar system suits a Sharjah warehouse?
It depends on roof area and consumption rather than a standard figure. Industrial roofs in Sharjah commonly support systems between 100 kWp and 2 MWp, and the right size is the one that matches daytime consumption rather than the one that fills the roof.
Why is industrial solar particularly strong in Sharjah?
Sharjah's manufacturing and warehousing base combines large unshaded roof areas with consumption concentrated in daylight hours. That means generated power is consumed on site at retail displacement value rather than exported, which produces the strongest returns.
Do you provide maintenance after installation?
Yes. We provide long-term operations and maintenance including cleaning schedules matched to site exposure, string-level performance monitoring, and inverter servicing across the system's operating life.
