Scenario
As a plan to expand the sustainable energy usage in Dubai, DEWA has designed the 'Shams
Dubai Calculator' webpage that enables customers and the public to estimate potential
electricity production and savings on electricity bill that can be achieved by installing solar
panels.

After estimating your electricity consumption saving, you decided to install solar panels on
the roof of your building.

To get the maximum system’s efficiency while building the metal structure (ABCD), you
should consider that the optimal panel’s tilt angle (∠CAD) should range between 22-24°;
which allows annual irradiation of about 2100 kWh/m2 for Dubai, taking into consideration
keeping the panels clean of any deposit of dirt and dust.

The generated electricity will feed the swimming pool’s filters, pumps, and lights. The pool
comprises four walls (W1, W2, W3, and W4).
