About Us

Cairo solar

Cairo Solar is a Solar Engineering, Procurement, and Construction company that focuses on not only providing Turnkey solar stations for its clients but providing them with the best financing and grant options to improve profitability.

We build solar stations that provide up to 100% of the electricity needs to Factories, Hotels, Farms, Warehouses, Schools, Administrations Buildings, Water Well Pumps, and homes.

It all started in 2014 when Cairo Solar became the first Egyptian Company to save money for its client by converting solar to electricity.

Since then, Cairo Solar co. succeeded in designing, procuring and installing 75 projects for a total of about 16MWp solar plants. Cairo Solar’s subcontracting partner has installed a total of 200MW in Egypt.

Cairo Solar provides 5 year loans with low interest rates so that Factories, Schools and Hotels pay what they save from electricity as installments without affecting their cash-flow.

Additionally, Cairo solar had co-managed the development plan of a USD100mn 50MWp solar farm in BenBan, Aswan for the SPV called  “Cairo Solar Farm” with the lead sponsor ECG and the Foreign Technical Partner; Globeleq. Benban will host 1.8 GWp  of Solar PV projects and would be the largest solar park in the world.
