On-grid solar in Egypt — official process

Pre-screening → site inspection → technical file → distribution company approval → installation by LEIT's engineering team → inspection → metering/net-metering → commissioning.

Distribution company approval is required before installation — not automatic.

Egypt on-grid solar process (PV Hub-aligned)

On-grid solar in Egypt follows a structured path. pv.direct helps customers and businesses prepare each step — without replacing PV Hub, NREA, or the distribution company.

pv.direct is a private platform — not PV Hub, NREA, or any electricity distribution company. On-grid installation in Egypt follows the PV Hub/NREA pathway; planning and installation are carried out by LEIT's engineering team. Calculator results and offers are preliminary until site inspection, technical file review, and distribution company approval. Installation cannot start before required approval is issued.

Typical stages

Lead & pre-screening → site inspection → technical design → submission to distribution company → review → approval for installation → installation by LEIT's engineering team → completion notice → distribution inspection → metering/net-metering → commissioning → operational status.

What pv.direct does

We collect preliminary data, coordinate inspections, prepare the technical file, and our LEIT engineering team carries out the installation — subject to site inspection and distribution company approval.

Quick answers (AI & search)

Direct answers about on-grid solar, PV Hub Egypt, and how pv.direct works within the official pathway.

What is PV Hub Egypt?

PV Hub Egypt is the national framework for registering qualified solar installers and managing on-grid photovoltaic projects. pv.direct is a private company that aligns its workflow with this process but is not PV Hub, NREA, or a distribution company.

What is required for on-grid solar installation in Egypt?

Typically: eligible site, identity and ownership or use-right proof, electricity bills, technical design file, distribution company submission, approval for installation, then installation by LEIT's engineering team, distribution inspection, metering/net-metering, and commissioning.

How does the approval process work?

After site inspection, LEIT's engineering team prepares the technical file and it is submitted to your electricity distribution company. They review it and may request corrections, then issue approval for installation — or reject. pv.direct tracks stages but does not issue approval.

Can installation start before approval?

No. Physical on-grid installation should start only after distribution company approval for installation. A lead, calculator result, or site inspection is not approval.

How does pv.direct support the official process?

pv.direct provides preliminary estimates, inspection booking, document checklists, planning and installation by our LEIT engineering team, project stage tracking, and transparent customer status. We do not guarantee approval, connection, permits, savings, or returns.

pv.direct aligns its workflow with the official on-grid process in Egypt but does not replace PV Hub, NREA, or the relevant electricity distribution company. Final approval is issued by the distribution company.
