Solar Water Heaters
Solar Water Heater Installation
Egypt has the sunshine for it. A solar water heater puts the roof to work on your hot water, and keeps a gas or electric backup for the hours the sun cannot cover.
About solar water heaters
We size the collectors and the tank to how much hot water the building actually uses, mount the system on the roof so it faces the sun and stays reachable for service, and connect it to the existing hot water pipework. The backup heat source takes over automatically, so the taps behave the same in every season. The same collectors can pre-heat pool water where a pool is already on the system.
What you gain
- Uses the sun for the bulk of the year
- Backup keeps supply steady
- Sized to real hot water use
- Installed and serviced by one team
What we deliver
Solar water heaters, engineered end to end.
Every project is handled by our own team, from the first survey to long-term care.
-
Flat-plate collectors
The common rooftop panel, suited to most homes and villas.
-
Evacuated-tube collectors
Glass tube collectors where a higher water temperature is wanted.
-
Storage tanks
Insulated tanks sized to the household, on the roof or indoors.
-
Gas or electric backup
An automatic backup heat source, so hot water never depends on the weather.
-
Roof mounting & pipework
Frames, insulated pipe runs and the connection into the existing system.
-
Servicing
Checking collectors, tank, pump and controls, and cleaning the panels.

Before we design
Solar water heaters: what we look at first
No two homes need the same answer, which is why every project starts with a site survey.

How it runs
Solar water heaters, from survey to aftercare
-
Survey
We visit the site, learn how the space is used and assess the existing infrastructure.
-
Design
Our engineers size and design the system, then select the right equipment from trusted brands.
-
Install
Our own technicians install cleanly and test every component before handover.
-
Care
Our maintenance and after-sales team keeps your system running efficiently, year after year.
We work across Egypt, including New Cairo and the 5th Settlement, Sheikh Zayed and 6th of October, Nasr City, Heliopolis, Maadi, Alexandria and the North Coast. Areas we serve
Questions
Solar water heaters: common questions

Read the guide Hard water and scale in water heaters and boilers Read the guide What size water heater or cylinder do you need?Do solar water heaters work in winter?
Yes. Egypt gets strong sunshine for most of the year, and each system has a gas or electric backup for cloudy days and busy mornings, so hot water stays available.
Flat-plate or evacuated-tube collectors?
Flat-plate collectors are robust and simple. Evacuated tubes lose less heat in cooler weather. The right one depends on your hot water use, your roof and your budget; we advise after seeing the site.
What does the roof need?
Enough unshaded space facing roughly south, and a roof that can carry the collectors and a full tank. Some compounds have rules on roof equipment, so it is worth checking with the management first.
What maintenance do they need?
Regular checks of the collectors, tank, valves and backup heater. Where the water is hard, scale builds up inside and should be cleared from time to time to keep the system efficient.
How much does a solar water heater cost?
It follows the household’s daily hot water use, which sets the collector area and tank size, the collector type (flat-plate or evacuated tube), the backup heater, the mounting on your roof and the pipe run down to the home. We check the roof and your usage first, then quote the system that fits.
