Helio East UAE
Solar power solutions

The latest solar technology, sourced for the UAE and Africa.

From high-efficiency n-type panels to batteries, inverters and complete systems, we source current-generation solar equipment from leading manufacturers and deliver it with full documentation for homes, businesses, farms and government projects.

Why solar, why now

Our markets have the sun, the demand and the targets.

Diesel is expensive and grids are stretched. In Mali, for example, the utility’s cost of supply is about US$0.357 per kWh because of heavy reliance on fuel-based generation. Solar with storage cuts those costs for good.

Mobile EV fast charging

A wheeled DC fast charger with a large onboard battery, for fleets, events and sites without fixed charging infrastructure.

  • About 209 kWh storage
  • Up to 150 kW DC, CCS2
Sample solutions

What solar looks like for your home, farm, factory or building.

Four typical projects, sized by our team: how much electricity each one uses, how much roof or land the panels need, how big the battery is, and how power flows on-grid and off-grid, day and night.

Indicative examples based on typical Dubai consumption and published solar yields. Every real project is sized from your bills, site survey and grid rules, and installed by a licensed installer or EPC partner.

Our recommendation for the Gulf and the Sahel

Panels lose output as they heat up, so in our markets the temperature coefficient matters as much as the headline wattage. New n-type panels lose less in the heat, degrade more slowly and carry 30-year power warranties. We no longer recommend legacy PERC for new projects, and tandem panels are not yet proven enough for bankable projects.

TOPCon

Best value

The mainstream choice for most rooftops and solar farms. A TÜV Nord field test measured 5.69% more energy than comparable PERC panels.

TÜV Nord report
HJT

Best in extreme heat

The lowest heat losses of mainstream silicon. In a three-year desert test in Doha, HJT lost about 5% to heat versus up to 9.89% for other panels.

pv magazine
Back-contact

Most power per m²

The highest commercial efficiency, at up to 25%, and a clean all-black look. Ideal where roof space is limited.
