Hospitals, hotels and schools pay for cooling, lighting, refrigeration and hot water all day. Solar on the roof and car park covers part of that load, and batteries cover the loads that cannot stop. We treat these sites like industrial ones, with the same engineering standards and pricing basis.
Round-the-clock load, with generators already on site.
Industry example: Shefaa Al Orman Cancer Hospitals in Luxor run about 1.3 MW of solar, installed in four phases from December 2022 to early 2025. Not a Reservia project.
Cooling, kitchens, laundry and pools run through the sun hours.
Industry example: TAQA Arabia's 20 MWp plant in Sharm El-Sheikh, commissioned in October 2022, is expected to supply about 30% of the Nabq area's load and clean power for around 6,000 hotel rooms. Utility scale, not a single hotel, and not a Reservia project.
Daytime load and large roofs, with a quieter summer break.
Industry example: Cairo University commissioned a 660 kW solar station for 13 campus buildings, built in three months. Not a Reservia project.
Big roofs and car parks with strong daytime demand.
Industry example: five museums and visitor centres in Cairo, Giza, Sharm El-Sheikh and Alexandria run 325 kW of solar combined, about 520 MWh a year. Not a Reservia project.
Hospitals, hotels and schools are not a separate category in the EgyptERA tariff from April 2026. Depending on the connection, they pay the commercial tiers (up to EGP 2.79 per kWh) or the 'other users' rate for their voltage (EGP 2.55 at medium voltage, 2.74 at low voltage). The calculator uses EGP 2.55, the lower end of that range, so its estimate leans cautious. Your site survey replaces it with your real tariff. A hospital that must keep power during an outage needs a battery or hybrid design, because panels on a standard grid-tied inverter switch off when the grid does.
Roof and structure survey before design
Installation planned around opening hours, wards and guest areas
Shutdowns and connection dates agreed in writing with your facilities team
Commissioning to IEC 62446, documents handed over, O&M response times in writing
Hospitals, hotels and schools are not a separate EgyptERA tariff category. Depending on the connection, a building pays the commercial tiers (up to EGP 2.79 per kWh) or the other-users rate for its voltage (EGP 2.55 at medium voltage, 2.74 at low voltage). Our estimate assumes EGP 2.55, the lower end, so it leans cautious. We replace it with the tariff on your actual bill at the site survey.
Not on its own. Panels on a standard grid-tied inverter switch off when the grid fails. Critical loads need a battery or a hybrid design integrated with your generators, which we design with your facilities team.
We'll come back with a system size, a price and a payback period. No obligation.
