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.
