True to the sun.

Independent solar performance diagnostics

We find the energy your solar plant is losing, tell you why, and show what it costs you in AED.

Independent analysis for solar owners and operators in the UAE and the Gulf, with desert soiling and heat in mind, and based on the data your plant already records.

How it works

From plant data to a ranked list of fixes

Most monitoring dashboards show what a plant produced. We explain the losses behind it.

  1. Find

    We compare what your plant produced with what it should have produced, and trace the gap to its causes, such as soiling, shading, string and inverter faults, clipping and downtime, as far as your data allows.

  2. Value

    Each loss is valued in AED at your own tariff or PPA price, so you can see which losses are worth fixing first.

  3. Verify

    After the fixes, we compare output before and after, so you can see what changed.

We sell no equipment and no maintenance, so our findings are independent of the work they lead to.

Founder

Mohamed Abdelmagid, PhD

Dr. Mohamed Abdelmagid is a solar PV performance specialist and the founder of Heliograde. He holds a PhD in Engineering (Engineering Systems and Management) from Khalifa University, where his research focused on how solar plants lose energy, from partial shading and power tracking to array design, and how that energy can be recovered. His work is published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. At Heliograde he leads independent performance diagnostics for plant owners and operators in the UAE and the Gulf.

Speaking with solar owners and O&M teams

If your plants are producing less than expected, or you run O&M and want an independent view for your clients, Mohamed would welcome 25 minutes to hear how you track performance today.
