With issues like climate change, increase in carbon footprint, biodiversity loss amongst other environmental concerns that the planet is facing right now, a conscious and mindful way of living is the only way one can ensure a liveable future.<\/p>\n<p>Adopting renewable sources of energy has not only become the ideal choice, in such a situation, but also convenient with solar solutions being affordable and readily available in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Middle East Fuji LLC<\/strong> inaugurated a 176 kWp capacity rooftop solar power plant in their Head Office in Al Quoz, Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>This rooftop solar power plant has been set up using 440 Nos solar panels which have been manufactured by a Tier One solar panel manufacturer. The complete system was designed, installed &amp; commissioned by a Dubai based company <strong>SWME Control System Trading LLC. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The biggest advantage of installing rooftop solar panels is that they offer cost savings. For building owners, rooftop solar installations can even help in cutting down electricity bills. Rooftop panels supply electricity to buildings, so they need to buy less electricity.<\/p>\n<p>The chief factor that accentuates the importance of rooftop solar panels is that they require very less maintenance. They come with a service life of over 20 years with proper maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The installed solar system will generate approx.. 250 MWhr of energy per year and this results to approx. 250 Tons of CO2 reduction in a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it Works?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DEWA\u2019s Shams Dubai solar program<\/strong> is based on the principle of \u2018net metering\u2019. This allows customers to install solar panels to produce their own power, reducing their electricity bill every month. Any surplus electricity not used immediately is\u00a0sold back to the grid at the same price, and at the end of the month only the net amount is billed to the customer. Should a customer\u00a0produce more energy in one month than he \/ she has consumed, DEWA allows rolling over these kWhs to the next month.<\/p>\n<p>The big advantage of net metering is that customers stay connected to DEWA\u2019s grid, thereby combining\u00a0the 24\/7 reliability of a grid connection with the lower costs of solar energy<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols offset_small\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image \"><a href=\"https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1.jpg\" ref=\"magnificPopup\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ribben1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image \"><a href=\"https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6.jpg\" ref=\"magnificPopup\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mef.ae\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Solar6.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world is moving towards a sustainable lifestyle at a rapid pace.
