Solar water heaters
Solar water heaters for UAE homes and businesses.
Heat water with the sun instead of electricity. SAS Pumps (Shaduf Al Sahra Trading) supplies and installs solar water heating systems sized to your home or building, in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and all 7 Emirates.
How it works
Hot water from the sun.
-
Collect
Solar collectors on the roof absorb heat from the sun.
-
Store
The heat warms water held in an insulated storage tank.
-
Use
Hot water is ready at your taps, with an electric backup for the rare days the sun isn't enough.
Benefits
Why go solar?
-
Lower electricity bills
Water heating is a large part of many electricity bills. The sun does most of that work for free.
-
Made for UAE sunshine
Strong sun for most of the year makes the UAE one of the best places to heat water with solar.
-
Sized for your demand
Each system is matched to the number of people, your daily hot water use and your roof.
-
Cleaner and low-maintenance
Cuts your carbon footprint, with simple upkeep: clean collectors and occasional descaling.
Who it's for

-
Villas & homes
Family-sized systems that cover everyday hot water for showers, kitchens and laundry.

Sizing
What we need to size your system.
-
People & usage
How many people use hot water, and when.
-
Roof space
Available roof area, its direction and any shade from nearby buildings or structures.
-
Water supply
Mains or tank supply, and whether the water is hard (which affects maintenance).
-
Existing setup
Your current water heater and plumbing, so the new system connects cleanly.
What size solar water heater do I need?
It depends on how much hot water you use each day. A common rule of thumb is around 40 to 60 litres per person per day, so a family of four often needs a system of roughly 200 to 300 litres. We confirm the size after checking your usage and roof.
Does a solar water heater work in the UAE summer?
Yes, very well. In peak summer it can produce hotter water than you need, so systems include a mixing (tempering) valve that delivers water at a safe temperature.
What happens at night or on cloudy days?
The insulated storage tank keeps water hot overnight, and a backup electric heater tops it up when the sun alone isn't enough.
How do I maintain a solar water heater?
Keep the collectors free of dust and sand, and check for scale from time to time, especially where the water is hard. We can advise a simple maintenance schedule for your system.
Can you install solar water heaters on apartment buildings?
Yes, where there is suitable roof space and access. We assess the roof, pipe routes and hot water demand before recommending a system.
Do you install solar water heaters in Sharjah and Ajman?
Yes. We supply and install solar water heaters in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and across all seven Emirates.
