Solar in Ajman, Taken Seriously

Solar Oasis designs and installs solar in Ajman under EtihadWE (Etihad Water & Electricity), the utility serving the northern emirates.

  • Zero‑export systems, with hybrid (battery) and off‑grid options.
  • Designed to EtihadWE's DSS standards, so the system can be connected to net metering if EtihadWE introduces it.
  • Some of our first systems went live here in Ajman.

The smallest emirate has the same sun as the biggest. An Ajman proposal should start from EtihadWE's tariff and rules, not Dubai's. Some of our first systems went live right here in Ajman.

How solar works in Ajman

Ajman accounts sit with EtihadWE. Systems here are zero-export, sized to your daytime load, with hybrid (battery) and off-grid options. Practical implications:

  • Grid-connected systems

    Each is designed to EtihadWE's requirements, which differ from DEWA's Shams Dubai.

  • Backup power

    This has genuine everyday value for home offices, shops and clinics: a hybrid design with a battery keeps them running, and saves in the evening and at night too. Backup and storage →

  • What are Ajman electricity rates?

    EtihadWE's expat residential rates rise with use, from 23 to 38 fils per kWh, plus a 5 fils fuel surcharge, so each kWh solar replaces is worth most at the top of the ladder. We calculate from your actual bill, not a national average.

Your utility
EtihadWE
Distributed Solar Systems (DSS) standards
In Ajman, systems are zero-export, with hybrid (battery) and off-grid options.

Future-ready for net metering

EtihadWE does not offer net metering today. We build every system to its DSS standards, so if a net-metering policy is introduced, the system can be connected without being rebuilt.

The three system types in Ajman

Zero-export
Offsets your daytime consumption.
Hybrid, with a battery
Stores daytime solar so you also save in the evening and at night.
Hybrid systems switch automatically between solar, battery and grid with an ATS (automatic transfer switch).
Off-grid
Runs completely off the grid: the battery covers the night, and an optional generator covers any shortfall.

Businesses that run mostly in the daytime (typically around 8 am to 5 pm) use most of their solar as it's produced, which is where zero export saves the most.

Grid-connected systems are capped at 1 MW under DEWA and EtihadWE rules; off-grid systems have no such cap.*

Under EtihadWE's DSS, the 10% of connected load (max 1,000 kW) is a ceiling, not the system size.
