Advanced solar trading, AI-powered energy consultancy, and policy advisory — bridging Chinese manufacturers, the GCC, and Africa. Founded in Gaza. Operating globally.
Manara Energy is a solar trading, distribution and AI-powered energy policy consultancy headquartered in Doha, Qatar, with an operating branch in Cape Town, South Africa. We source advanced solar products directly from certified Chinese manufacturers and supply EPC installers, commercial buyers, and institutional clients across the GCC and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our consultancy practice advises governments, semi-government entities, development finance institutions, and private sector clients on energy policy, ESG compliance, carbon finance, and renewable energy procurement strategy — augmented by artificial intelligence tools for market analysis, policy modelling, and data-driven advisory.
What makes Manara distinct is not only what we supply — but where we come from. Our founder is a Palestinian engineer from Gaza who built solar systems under conditions of severe energy constraint. That engineering discipline, and the policy literacy gained through postgraduate research in Doha, defines every client engagement.
"Manara — منارة — means lighthouse. A structure that guides through uncertainty. That is what we are built to be."
Manara Energy was established in Gaza, Palestine — where solar microgrids are not a sustainability choice but a survival infrastructure. This origin gives our team an applied understanding of solar systems, grid resilience, and energy access that no commercially-born competitor can replicate.
The company has since established headquarters in Doha, Qatar and an operational branch in Cape Town, South Africa. Following the cessation of hostilities, Manara will re-establish its Gaza office as a third full operating branch, contributing to the territory's energy reconstruction through solar supply and policy advisory.
Our consultancy, trading, AI, and sustainability practices are designed to reinforce each other — policy intelligence sharpens procurement decisions; market presence deepens institutional credibility.
Research-grade energy policy analysis, regulatory mapping, decarbonisation roadmaps, and ESG compliance frameworks for governments and the private sector. We translate national energy strategies into actionable institutional guidance across the GCC and Africa.
Direct sourcing of advanced solar products — TOPCon panels, BESS, inverters, and monitoring platforms — from certified Chinese manufacturers, supplied to EPC contractors and commercial buyers in Qatar and South Africa.
We integrate artificial intelligence into energy policy analysis, demand forecasting, market intelligence, and ESG reporting. Our AI-augmented advisory services deliver faster, deeper insight for institutional decision-makers navigating complex energy transitions.
End-to-end supply chain management for solar projects, including procurement strategy, logistics coordination, customs clearance, and on-site quality assurance. Paired with sustainability reporting to meet TCFD, GRI, and national ESG frameworks.
Manara Energy embeds artificial intelligence across its consultancy and trading operations — enabling faster market intelligence, more precise policy modelling, and data-driven supply decisions.
Real-time monitoring of solar product pricing, supplier performance, and regional demand signals across the GCC and African markets. AI-driven alerts flag optimal procurement windows and emerging supply chain risks before they impact project timelines.
Large language model-assisted analysis of regulatory frameworks, bid documents, and policy briefs. We process complex national energy strategies and translate them into structured advisory outputs for government and institutional clients in hours, not weeks.
Automated ESG data aggregation, carbon footprint calculation, and sustainability disclosure preparation aligned with GRI, TCFD, and South Africa's carbon offset scheme. AI ensures accuracy, audit-readiness, and consistency across reporting cycles.
All products are sourced from certified Tier-1 and Tier-2 Chinese manufacturers with full IEC documentation, factory audit records, and performance warranties. Third-party inspection covers every shipment prior to loading.
Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact technology delivers efficiencies of 22–23.5%, outperforming PERC by up to 2 percentage points. Available in bifacial configuration with single-axis tracker compatibility — optimised for Qatar's commercial ground-mount and South Africa's C&I rooftop market.
Commercial and utility-scale BESS integrating LFP cell chemistry for safety and longevity in high-temperature environments. Containerised format from 100 kWh to multi-MWh. Essential for Qatar's distributed generation and South Africa's load-shedding resilience requirements.
Three-phase string inverters and hybrid inverter-chargers for commercial and industrial applications. High-temperature rated for GCC climates. Grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid configurations. Certified to IEC 62109, CE, and SABS standards for South Africa.
Aluminium and galvanised steel mounting systems for flat roof, pitched roof, carport, and ground-mount configurations. Engineered for wind loads in Qatar and Western Cape coastal conditions. Single-axis tracking systems available for projects exceeding 500 kWp.
Integrated solar-plus-EV charging solutions for commercial carparks, corporate campuses, and hospitality assets. DC fast chargers (60–120 kW) and AC chargers (7–22 kW) with solar canopy integration. Aligned with Qatar's transport electrification commitments under National Vision 2030.
SCADA-level monitoring with real-time yield tracking, AI-assisted fault diagnostics, and automated ESG performance reporting for commercial solar assets. Cloud-based with mobile access. Supports predictive maintenance scheduling and investor-grade performance disclosure.
Manara Energy operates from dual active headquarters with a third office planned for Gaza following reconstruction — completing a cross-continental presence from the GCC to Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant.
Mohammed AlAgha is a renewable energy engineer and public policy researcher from Gaza, Palestine. He founded Manara Energy on the conviction that the solar transition in the GCC and Sub-Saharan Africa requires not only better products — but better policy infrastructure, and the right people to bridge the two.
With a BEng in Renewable Energy Engineering and an MSc in Public Policy (Energy & Climate track) from the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Mohammed combines technical depth with institutional fluency. He advises on solar procurement, energy governance, and ESG strategy across the MENA region and Africa, integrating AI tools into every dimension of the consultancy practice.
He has worked as a Research Assistant at Earthna (Qatar Foundation) and the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, with research focused on GCC energy transition and regional energy integration. His formative experience designing and overseeing solar installations in Gaza — under conditions most engineers never encounter — underpins Manara's engineering-first philosophy.
