Following the success of its award-winning project with DP World to provide solar energy to JAFZA staff accommodation completed earlier this year, SirajPower, UAE’s leading distributed solar energy provider, today (April 27) announced two new residential partnerships in Dubai.

The Emirati group signed a deal with Al Khail Heights by Texture Holding and Mirdif Villa Complex by Green Coast Real Estate that will result in a total 3MWp system capacity, and generate 5GWh of annual energy production, whilst displacing more than 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission per annum.

The partnership is SirajPower’s second important project in the residential sector this year, said the company in a statement.
 
"To implement such a project, the company benefited from its key market differentiator, a fully integrated leasing model which eases energy expenses and can help mitigating the economic impact of the current crisis. SirajPower provides the design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and financing that allow businesses to work with a single point of contact throughout the whole journey of their energy ambitions," he added.

CEO Laurent Longuet said: "Today, the way we live has been disrupted because of the novel coronavirus, Covid-19. It has raised further awareness of our lifestyle and the impact it has on our environment. Before the outbreak, there was already a strong push to make sustainability a way of life in the UAE and the region."

"As a company, we are proud to be part of a local family business that has always played an important role to help the community and that has been able to support the development of the long-term green vision of our leadership," he noted.

Longuet said: "With the successful implementation of this project, we proved that a fully financed solar model is now becoming a reality in Dubai and the Middle East. Our team’s tireless efforts, level of expertise and experience are market-leading. As a result, SirajPower became the first and only fully comprehensive distributed solar energy company in the region that can provide a ‘commercial’ solar leasing solution for the residential market."

"To date, and thanks to the important role Shams Dubai played in the development of the emirate’s flourishing solar industry, we have been championing the commercial and industrial sectors which have been the main beneficiaries of solar rooftop plants," stated the top official.

"Our expansion in the residential sector is a ground-breaking move that showcases our commitment to increasing the number of solar projects in the UAE to achieve its ambitious sustainable development goals. We are confident that we can continue our expansion and tap into different sectors, and new markets as we aim to change the way the region is powered. Together, with the support of the authorities, we can build a solar rooftop culture to make sustainability a way of life," he added.
