The UAE's solar energy landscape has changed dramatically over the past decades, with installed solar PV capacity reaching up to 125 MW in Dubai last year mainly due to ambitions initiatives like the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, according to Sharaf DG Energy.

Demand for rooftop and decentralized projects in the commercial, industrial and residential segments is growing rapidly due to ambitions initiatives like the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Shams Dubai program, it stated.

Solar is the future of electricity generation and supports the UAE’s vision by providing customers with the ability to produce their own clean energy and save money in the process, said its top official.

“It is our duty to save our natural resources and restore the health of our planet.” remarked Sanjay Dabur, the Vice President of Sharaf DG Energy.

The company has already completed a variety of solar PV rooftop projects in Dubai, including ‘500 Dubai villas go solar’ project – where 500 villas were converted to solar in just 45 days.

Sharaf DG Energy has called upon villa owners to consider solar as an alternate source of power and take advantage of substantial monthly energy savings - the average energy consumption of a villa is around 60,000 kWh/year, a solar PV system of 15 kWp will generate 24,000 kWh of electricity, offsetting around 40-50% of the energy needs, meaning savings of around Dh10,500 annually.

"Limiting global warming relies on unlocking universally available clean energy and it is up to businesses and consumers worldwide to recognise this opportunity and lead the transition towards clean energy systems," stated Dabur.

"Solar is accompanied by a wealth of benefits including immediate bill savings of up to 40% and the comfort of knowing that you are in control of your energy consumption – Sharaf DG Energy also helps to finance, design, operate and maintain the facilities," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
