Villa outside the city with a rooftop solar installation

Price guide 2026

Start with the size, not the price

A solar quote should tell you what you are actually getting. Every price below is for a complete working system — solar panels, the hybrid inverter, lithium battery storage, mounting and installation — not for panels alone with the expensive parts added later. They are approximate ranges for a straightforward job, not quotes: your figure depends on the roof or yard, the equipment chosen and the battery size.

Complete systems — panels, inverter and lithium battery

System size	Roughly	Approximate installed price	Typically suits
3 kWp	7–8 panels	AED 9,000 – 13,000	A small villa, or one room and the essentials
5 kWp	11–13 panels	AED 13,000 – 18,000	A typical family villa, two or three splits
7 kWp	15–17 panels	AED 18,000 – 25,000	More splits, cooling that holds into the night
10 kWp	22–24 panels	AED 25,000 – 34,000	A large villa — the top of our range

Each price covers the whole working system: solar panels, the hybrid inverter, lithium battery storage, mounting and installation. Roof type, cable run length, access and equipment choice move the figure within the range.

These are approximate prices. The exact figure depends on your roof or yard, the equipment chosen and the battery size. For a confirmed price, message us on WhatsApp or call — the site visit and the written quote are free.

Farm, azba and pump systems

Job	Typical size	Approximate installed price	Notes
Solar water pump only	1.5 – 3 kWp	AED 5,000 – 10,000	No battery — the tank stores the water
Small azba package	3 – 5 kWp + battery	AED 9,000 – 18,000	Pump, lights, fans, worker room
Full farm package	6 – 10 kWp + battery	AED 18,000 – 34,000	Generator drops to rare backup

A farm package is the same equipment as a villa system — panels, inverter and lithium battery — so it is priced the same way. A pump-only job is cheaper because it needs no battery at all.

What actually moves the price

Battery capacity

Storage is a real part of the price, and sizing it on your genuine evening load rather than a comfortable round number is where most of the saving is. An oversized battery is money parked in a cabinet.

Access and mounting

A flat roof with a clear path is cheap to work on. A pitched tile roof, a long cable run to the inverter, or a yard where everything has to be craned changes the labour.

Equipment tier

Panel and inverter choice can swing a quote noticeably. We put the models in writing so you can compare like for like instead of comparing a total against a total.

What should never be a surprise

The prices on this page are approximate. Your quote is not: it is fixed and itemised — panel model, inverter model, battery capacity, cable sizes, mounting type. If a genuine site condition changes the scope, you hear about it before we do the work, not on the final invoice.

Cost questions

How much does a 5 kWp solar system cost in the UAE?

Approximately AED 13,000 to 18,000 installed in 2026 for the complete system — solar panels, the hybrid inverter, lithium battery storage, mounting and installation. Roof type, access, cable runs and equipment choice move it within that band. For a confirmed price, WhatsApp or call us; the site visit and written quote are free.

Why is a small system more expensive per watt?

Because the fixed costs do not scale down. The site visit, design, access equipment and a day of skilled labour cost about the same on a 3 kWp job as on a 7 kWp one, so they are spread over fewer watts. It is why the jump from 3 kWp to 5 kWp costs far less than doubling.

Is an off-grid farm system more expensive than a villa system?

Not by much — it is the same equipment. Panels, inverter and lithium battery cost the same whether they sit on a villa roof or in a farm yard. What moves the price is the size of the array and the battery, and on a farm that comes from your pump rating and how long things run after dark.

Do you charge for the site visit or the quote?

No. The visit and the itemised quote are free, anywhere in the five emirates, with no obligation.

How long before it pays for itself?

On a farm replacing daily diesel, the arithmetic is usually fast and obvious once you add up what fuel and the trips to fetch it really cost. On a villa it depends on your consumption and tariff. We show you the calculation with your own numbers instead of quoting a headline figure.
