Data-Led Design
System size is modelled against operating hours, interval demand and usable roof area.
SolarPanelUAE is an independent lead-generation platform. We connect Sharjah businesses with installer partners for commercial solar assessment, utility coordination and proposal review.

System size is modelled against operating hours, interval demand and usable roof area.
Structural limits, safe access, cable routes and delivery phases are addressed before installation.
The proposal identifies utility submissions, property documents, inspections and connection milestones.
Output, self-consumption and commercial assumptions are presented clearly for like-for-like review.
Sharjah is the emirate where the honest answer to βwhat do we get for what we export?β is that it turns on something we cannot confirm from here. SEWA supplies the emirate, but we hold no verified description of a formal net-metering arrangement for commercial connections, so the export side of a business case has to be pinned down with SEWA and the installer partner before any projection is treated as settled.
SAIF Zone and Hamriyah Free Zone carry much of the emirateβs industrial activity, and both come up regularly in the enquiries we route. Neither name implies anything about a specific unit: not the condition of its roof, not the structure beneath it, not shading from the neighbouring plot, and not whether the site draws power while the sun is up. Those are inspected, not inferred from a postcode.
What is verifiable here is narrow, and we would rather leave the gap visible than fill it. Whether SEWA operates an export mechanism for a commercial connection, on what terms, against what cap and through what approval path β none of that is confirmed. Treat any proposal whose numbers rest on export value as carrying an assumption the partner must evidence in writing from SEWA, and ask directly what the project looks like if no export arrangement exists at all. That is a fair question to put to a bidder, and a good one for separating careful installers from optimistic ones.
The uncertainty has a direct consequence for sizing: build the case on the load you can measure. A Sharjah facility with steady daytime demand β light manufacturing, cold storage, a distribution shed running handling equipment through the day β earns its return from units consumed on site, and that part does not depend on any export mechanism being available. Where consumption falls mostly after dark, the proposal rests on an assumption nobody has confirmed, and the partner should be able to show the system still standing on its own if exported units are worth nothing. Roof area, structural capacity and safe maintenance access set the ceiling either way.

We have not been able to verify the current status of a net-metering or export-credit mechanism for commercial properties in Sharjah, so we do not state one. Ask the matched partner to evidence any export arrangement in writing, directly from SEWA, before you rely on it.
Yes. A request can be submitted for any Sharjah commercial property. Listing a free zone is local context only and is not a statement that a unit is suitable or that any particular utility programme applies to it.
We would not, given that the export mechanism here is unconfirmed. Sizing against measured daytime consumption keeps the case intact whether or not an export arrangement turns out to be available, so ask the partner to show both scenarios.
Nothing, until it is confirmed. Ask the partner to write down the export assumption they have used and the evidence for it, and to show the project both with and without that assumption holding.
No. Roof condition, structural capacity, usable area, shading and the site's measured load can all be assessed regardless of how SEWA treats exports, and that work is worth doing first.
Tell us about your property and we will route your request to a suitable installer partner.
