DEWA-approved solar panel installation across Dubai — villa rooftop, commercial, hybrid + battery. AED 15,000–45,000 for villas. Save 60-90% on DEWA bills. Free ROI study shows exact payback. 25-year panel warranty. 800+ projects delivered.
Based on 800+ projects, here's what goes wrong with solar — and how we prevent it.
Many contractors sell the biggest system your roof fits, not the one that matches your DEWA bill. Result: excess kWh you can't use or sell profitably. We size to your actual consumption + DEWA slab tariff structure for maximum ROI.
Roof penetrations for solar mounts cause leaks within 2-3 years. We're a full renovation company — waterproofing is our core trade. Every mounting point is sealed with 10-year waterproof membrane, not just silicone.
Contractors who don't know DEWA's Shams Dubai process cause 3-6 month delays. We handle the full process — application, single-line diagram, commissioning, meter installation — in 4-6 weeks.
Dubai dust reduces panel output 15-20% without regular cleaning. Most contractors install and disappear. We include 2-year AMC with quarterly cleaning + monitoring in every package.
Same project, two very different outcomes. Here's exactly how our service compares to the industry standard.

DEWA-approved system · Tier 1 panels · 2-year AMC included
4.9/5 rating from 127 Google reviews. Real savings from real installations.
"DEWA bill was AED 3,200/month. After First Unicorn installed 10kW, it's been AED 180-320 depending on season. The ROI study they showed me before installation was accurate to within 5%. Payback on track for 4.5 years."
"What sold me was the waterproofing. Previous solar company left my roof leaking after 2 years. First Unicorn removed the old system, re-waterproofed properly, and reinstalled with their own panels. Zero leaks since."
"Added solar during our villa renovation — saved the entire mobilisation cost vs doing it separately. One team, one PM. DEWA bill is now AED 6.50. My neighbours are asking for the same company."
Transparent track record. Updated quarterly. No marketing fluff — just numbers.

Villa solar systems typically cost AED 15,000-45,000 depending on size. 5 kW (3-4 BR villa): AED 15,000-22,000. 10 kW (5-6 BR): AED 25,000-38,000. 15+ kW (large villa): AED 38,000-65,000+. Price includes Tier 1 panels, inverter, installation, DEWA approval, and 2-year AMC.
Most villa owners save 60-90% on electricity bills. A 10 kW system on a villa with AED 2,500/month DEWA bill typically reduces it to AED 250-400/month. Exact savings depend on your consumption pattern, DEWA slab tariff, and system size. Our free ROI study shows exact projections.
Shams Dubai is DEWA's program allowing you to connect solar panels to the grid. Excess electricity you generate goes back to DEWA — you get credit on your next bill (net metering). No battery needed for daytime savings. We handle the entire Shams Dubai application process.
From signing to system live: 4-6 weeks total. Installation itself takes 2-3 days on-site. The rest is DEWA approval process, which we manage entirely. Much faster than the 3-6 months typical with solar-only companies.
Typical villa payback: 4-7 years depending on system size and consumption. After payback, you enjoy 18-21 years of near-free electricity (panels last 25-30 years). Commercial systems often pay back in 3-5 years due to higher DEWA tariffs.
Not for most villa owners. DEWA net metering means you use the grid as your 'battery' — excess goes to DEWA, you pull back at night. Batteries (AED 8,000-25,000) make sense for: backup during outages, off-grid areas, or maximising self-consumption. We design every system battery-ready so you can add later.
Not with proper installation. The #1 cause of solar-related roof damage is poor waterproofing at mounting points. We install a 10-year waterproof membrane under every mount — we're a renovation company, waterproofing is our core trade. Solar-only companies use silicone sealant.
Yes — and you should. Adding solar during renovation saves the entire mobilisation cost (AED 3,000-5,000). Roof waterproofing done once, electrical work integrated, one PM managing everything. This is our unique advantage — we're the only company in Dubai that does both.
Panels: Tier 1 manufacturers — Longi, JA Solar, Canadian Solar, Jinko. Mono PERC or TOPCon technology for UAE heat performance. Inverters: Huawei, SolarEdge, Fronius (string); Huawei, GoodWe (hybrid). All equipment comes with manufacturer warranty.
Yes — 0% EMI up to 12 months (in-house). Bank financing up to 24 months with competitive rates. PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) available for commercial — zero upfront cost, pay only for electricity generated.
Dubai dust reduces output 15-20% without cleaning. Our 2-year AMC (included) covers quarterly professional cleaning, system inspection, monitoring review, performance reporting. After 2 years, optional AMC at AED 1,500-3,000/year depending on system size.
Absolutely. We pre-wire for EV chargers in Premium+ packages and can install a solar-optimised EV charging circuit. Charge your car from sunshine — typical EV uses 8-12 kWh/day, well within a 10 kW system's capacity.
Free site visit + DEWA bill analysis + exact payback calculation. No obligation. 800+ solar projects delivered. 25-year warranty.
