The total amount of electricity consumed by the user in a year. This is used for the calculation of the solar plant contribution towards their annual bills.
The REEM SOLAR CALCULATOR, developed by Reem Office in collaboration with the GIS Center and interns from Khalifa University and Stirling University, uses the latest aerial imagery and building footprint data. This publicly accessible web application helps users in Ras Al-Khaimah to estimate the potential of solar panel installations. It provides insights into electricity generation, cost saving, financial benefits, and environmental contributions of solar energy.
This initiative reflects our commitment to promote renewable energy and mitigate climate change impacts. For precise evaluations, we recommend contacting solar vendors. Your feedback is valuable for improving the calculator. Please share your insights here.

This REEM SOLAR CALCULATOR estimates energy generation and potential savings from solar installations. Using the REEM SOLAR CALCULATOR, you acknowledge that it is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice. The calculations assume that 100% of the energy generated will be utilised and valued at the current utility rate, which may only sometimes be true. Actual energy production and realised savings may differ due to system performance, shading, local regulations, and grid connection policies. For a comprehensive assessment, please consult with a qualified solar energy professional. Ras Al Khaimah Municipality is not liable and responsible for any consequences arising due to the use of the information provided here.
