Egypt buyers need NREA/EgyptERA documentation, customs routing, and utility/C&I bankability files before tender approval. We prepare the buying file an EPC, distributor, or project owner needs before internal approval: landed-cost estimate, technical documents, compliance path, lead time, and container loading.

Egypt Solar Import FAQ

What certifications are needed for solar panels in Egypt?

IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 required (we provide). NREA (New & Renewable Energy Authority) approval for FIT-era and current private PPA projects. EgyptERA (Egyptian Electric Utility Regulatory Agency) for grid interconnection. For industrial free zones (Ain Sokhna, SCZone), simplified process. No local INMETRO-equivalent retail cert — IEC is the baseline.

What are import duties and taxes for solar panels in Egypt?

Solar modules are currently 0-2% import duty under Egypt's renewable energy policy. VAT: 14%. Additional service fees: ~2-3%. Total nationalization: ~16-19% on CIF. For projects under EETC PPAs or SCZone (Suez Canal Economic Zone), duty exemptions often apply — consult your local partner.

How fast is shipping to Egypt via the Suez route?

Egypt is extremely well-positioned: Shanghai → Sokhna (Gulf of Suez) 16-20 days direct. Alexandria/Damietta via Suez transit: 18-22 days. This makes Egypt one of the fastest Middle East + Africa ports from China. Add 5-7 days factory production if no stock. Total: 4-5 weeks from order to Egyptian port.

Can JUSTSOLAR supply Benban extension or EETC tender projects?

Yes — we supply EPCs bidding into Benban Phase 3, EETC private PPAs, and post-FIT-era utility tenders. For projects requiring BNEF Tier-1 bankability strictly, we can co-supply. For C&I rooftop (Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Port Said industrial) and standalone mini-grids in Sinai/Upper Egypt, JUSTSOLAR directly qualifies.

Is Egypt good for JUSTSOLAR HJT 730W?

Yes — Upper Egypt (Aswan, Luxor) has 2,100+ kWh/kWp/yr yield but summer ambient reaches 48°C. HJT with -0.24%/°C coefficient delivers ~4% more annual yield vs TOPCon in these conditions. For Delta region (Cairo, Alexandria), TOPCon 600W is sufficient — lower $/W with minimal yield compromise. We recommend per-project technology selection.

What payment terms for Egyptian buyers?

Payment terms are confirmed in the formal PI. For new Egyptian buyers and most first orders, JUSTSOLAR uses 100% T/T before shipment. Any exception requires written approval from Frank and will be stated in the PI. USD denominated always (not EGP).

Who are your Egyptian customers?

We supply C&I EPCs in Cairo, Alexandria, 6th of October industrial city. Also active with Benban cluster developers, SCZone industrial rooftop integrators, and Nile Delta greenhouse/agriculture solar projects. Sinai off-grid + hotel/resort rooftops are growing segments. English/Arabic support via Frank.
