A solar course is structured training in the design, installation, and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems — covering everything from basic electrical principles to grid-connection compliance with local utility requirements. In Dubai, solar PV is used across residential buildings, commercial fit-outs, industrial rooftops, and large-scale utility projects. DEWA’s Shams Dubai programme governs all grid-tied solar installations in the emirate, making knowledge of DEWA technical requirements a direct hiring prerequisite for solar roles. A solar course in Dubai at Orbit Training Centre equips professionals to work across the full project lifecycle: from site assessment and system design through to DEWA submission, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.
According to DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority), the Shams Dubai programme connected solar PV systems with a combined capacity of 725 megawatts across more than 8,430 buildings in Dubai as of 2025 — and in 2024 alone, DEWA certified 1,115 specialists as registered solar PV consultants and contractors through 38 training courses.
Dubai’s Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 both target 100% clean energy production capacity, with solar forming the backbone of that transition.
The D33 Economic Agenda reinforces this by classifying clean energy as a growth sector requiring a skilled local workforce.
Companies including Emirates Electrical Engineering, GreenFi Energy, and electrical subcontractors working under Nakheel, Emaar, and Dubai South are actively hiring solar-certified professionals to meet project demand.
Over 35 hours in structured 2-hour sessions, you will learn to:
The course covers IEC 60364-7-712 and IEC 62446 — the international standards referenced in DEWA’s certification framework — so your skills align directly with what Shams Dubai compliance requires.
This course is open to anyone — no prior solar knowledge is required. Electricians, MEP engineers, civil and structural graduates, and facility managers all join with different starting points; the program opens with PV fundamentals and electrical basics before progressing to design and DEWA compliance.
Working professionals on active construction or maintenance contracts use the one-to-one format to move at their own pace. Fresh graduates from engineering programs use this course to add a specific, employer-recognized certification before entering the renewable energy job market.
If you already work in electrical contracting and want to add solar project capability to your resume, this course gives you the DEWA-aligned curriculum that employers check for on CVs.

Dubai’s solar sector spans residential rooftop installations under Shams Dubai, commercial and industrial projects for Emaar, DEWA, and Nakheel, and large-scale developments such as the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. Freelance solar consultants in Dubai typically earn AED 300–600 per day on residential project work, with retainer arrangements common among O&M firms.
Professionals with DEWA-recognized certification and 2–3 years of project experience typically move from installation technician to design or project coordination roles within that period.
Nishank Kumar, engineering trainer with 6 years of experience, has trained over 500 professionals at Orbit Training Centre across CAD, BIM, structural, and renewable energy disciplines.
The free demo session at Orbit includes a live walkthrough of a DEWA Shams Dubai system layout, a Q&A on grid-connection requirements, and a sample system sizing exercise — so you can confirm course fit before you commit.
One-to-one training lets you move through the curriculum at a pace that works around your project schedule, rather than waiting for a batch to catch up.
Post-training support includes 30-day access to course materials, direct mentor queries by message, and guidance on preparing your first DEWA technical submission. Orbit’s solar certification is aligned with KHDA standards and is recognized by solar contractors and MEP consultancies operating across the UAE.
A solar course teaches you to design, install, and maintain photovoltaic (PV) systems. In Dubai, this includes on-grid and off-grid system configuration, DEWA Shams Dubai grid-connection compliance, solar PV sizing using IEC standards, inverter selection, and technical documentation for DEWA approval. Orbit’s solar course runs across 35 hours in structured 2-hour sessions covering the full project lifecycle.
DEWA solar training refers to certification required for professionals and companies to register as approved Shams Dubai consultants or contractors — giving them the authorization to design and install grid-connected solar systems in Dubai. DEWA certified 1,115 specialists across 38 training courses in 2024 alone. Orbit’s solar course aligns with DEWA’s curriculum standards, including IEC 60364-7-712 and IEC 62446, to prepare you for this certification pathway.
Orbit’s solar course covers 35 hours in total, delivered in 2-hour sessions. Students attending three sessions per week typically complete the course in four to five weeks. One-to-one learners who schedule daily sessions can finish in two to three weeks. The online live format follows the same 35-hour structure with flexible session timing across UAE business days.
In the UAE, solar certification recognized by employers and DEWA-registered contractors includes training aligned with the DEWA Shams Dubai framework and IEC 62446 standards. Orbit’s solar certification is KHDA-aligned, meaning it meets the Knowledge and Human Development Authority’s standards for professional training in Dubai and is accepted by solar contractors, MEP consultancies, and electrical engineering firms across the Gulf.
Solar installation technicians in Dubai earn AED 5,000–9,000 per month. Solar PV designers who handle system sizing and DEWA documentation earn AED 10,000–16,000 per month. Solar project engineers managing full project delivery typically earn AED 14,000–22,000 per month. Senior renewable energy consultants advising on commercial and utility-scale projects earn AED 18,000–28,000 per month, with demand rising steadily as Dubai’s Clean Energy Strategy 2050 accelerates installation targets.
