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.
Who installs my system?
LEIT's engineering team plans and carries out the installation, working to the PV Hub execution requirements for your capacity tier (e.g. Bronze up to 50 kW, higher tiers for larger systems) — within the PV Hub pathway and after distribution company approval. pv.direct does not replace official registry checks.
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.
What does "preliminary estimate" mean?
Calculator kWp, savings, and proposal figures are based on assumptions and bill data before a qualified site inspection and distribution review. Approved capacity and final scope may differ. It is not a binding contract or guaranteed approval.
