In 2026, falling panel prices, improved high-efficiency technology, and supportive policies from DEWA’s Shams Dubai net metering program have made solar more attractive than ever.
At Watts & Ergon, we specialize in premium end-to-end solar solutions tailored to Dubai’s climate and regulations.
Dubai continues to lead with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park and rapidly growing rooftop solar adoption. The UAE installed nearly 1 GW of solar capacity in 2025, with strong momentum continuing into 2026.
