Thanks to excellent solar irradiance and high DEWA tariffs, most commercial installations in Dubai achieve payback in **3.5 to 6 years**. After payback, the system continues generating “free” electricity for the remaining 20+ years of its lifespan.
Typical bill reduction ranges from **30% to 70%** depending on system sizing and energy consumption patterns.
