Sarah Al Mansoori

When the afternoon sun blazes over the Emirates, most people seek shade.
But for Sarah Al Mansoori, the sun is opportunity itself — an endless source of power, progress, and purpose.

As the Co-founder of SolarShift Energy, Sarah has turned her childhood fascination with light into a mission that’s reshaping how the UAE thinks about energy.

Her journey began with a simple question: “Why should a country with so much sunlight rely on anything else?”
That question led her from university research labs to boardrooms where clean energy policies are shaped.

In 2017, Sarah and a small team of engineers founded SolarShift Energy, determined to bring solar solutions to homes, schools, and communities across the Emirates. What started as a modest local project soon evolved into a national movement toward sustainability.

“The future isn’t waiting for us — we’re building it, one rooftop at a time,” Sarah often says.

Under her leadership, SolarShift Energy introduced innovative rooftop solar systems that thrive in the Gulf’s harsh climate. Within just a few years, the company became a trusted partner for eco-smart city projects and public institutions.

Beyond business success, Sarah is passionate about empowerment. Through her initiative, “She for Solar,” she mentors young Emirati women pursuing careers in renewable energy — reminding them that leadership begins with vision, not position.

Today, Sarah stands among the UAE’s new generation of changemakers.
Her work not only reduces carbon footprints but also inspires a nation to believe in self-sustained, clean power — drawn from the same desert sun that defines its identity.
