OUR STORY
With domestic energy prices set to rise and the price of solar decreasing rapidly, in 2016, we saw an opportunity to build a company to play a role in Saudi Arabia’s energy transition. Haala began consulting for clients looking to develop solar in 2016 and in 2018 we began to execute our first commercial scale projects.
Specifically, we think rooftop solar is an easy and affordable way to do this in the short term, while also empowering individuals and business owners by allowing them to take control of their energy assets and make smart choices about their consumption.
Fundamentally, the Haala Energy team is passionate about the environment, and we believe that shifting our energy mix towards solar and other renewables gives us the best chance of moving to a low carbon future, and mitigating the worst symptoms of climate change.
And in case you were wondering, HAALA comes from the Arabic term for the solar corona.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We specialise in solar PV. Our philosophy is to focus on one thing only, and do it well. We combine deep local market understanding with a rigorous and analytical approach to project development and a business model that promotes employee ownership. We consider ourselves to be technology agnostic, building custom-designed systems for our clients using the most appropriate components for their needs.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Haala Energy believes in employee participation. Every member of the team that passes the 1 year mark begins to be involved in the management of the company and to share in its profitability. Team members that feel engaged and valued give back more to the company. We also think this allows us to better recruit and retain top talent.
