VERTECO, a provider of water-saving products, smart washroom solutions and data-driven cleaning technology, has announced its exclusive regional distribution partnership with Lavee Solar. The partnership is said to mark a significant milestone in the region’s efforts to address water scarcity and promote sustainable cleaning practices for solar panels.

Lavee Solar is billed as an innovative liquid specifically designed for the highly effective cleaning of solar panels without the need for water. Equipped with SmartShield technology, the product is not only eco-friendly but also fully biodegradable, making it a cost-effective solution for solar panel owners and operators, the statement said.

By actively maintaining the cleanliness of solar panels for extended periods, Lavee Solar reduces the frequency of cleaning requirements. This not only saves time but also enhances energy generation and financial returns. The product’s compatibility with various leading photovoltaic (PV) system manufacturers worldwide ensures peace of mind for those who own and operate solar panels in the region.

Traditional solar panel cleaning methods can be a costly burden in water-scarce regions like the Middle East. These methods often require large volumes of water and use environmentally damaging products, posing significant challenges for those in such areas. Additionally, desert landscapes can quickly accumulate dust and debris, impacting the effectiveness of solar panels and resulting in substantial financial losses due to lost production annually, the firm explained.

Beyond its environmental benefits, Lavee Solar also significantly reduces operational and maintenance (O&M) costs. By eliminating the need for water, cleaning becomes a simple, convenient, and faster process. SmartShield technology effectively repels dust and water, further reducing cleaning expenses and enhancing the overall performance of solar panels.

David King, Managing Director of VERTECO said, “Water scarcity is one of the Middle East’s most pressing sustainability challenges. By partnering with Lavee Solar, we’re bringing a true waterless solution to market that not only conserves a precious resource but also reduces O&M costs. VERTECO is very proud to be introducing another innovative water saving product to our customers, and to be helping utilities, developers and property owners across the region achieve better performance, lower costs and stronger ESG outcomes.”

Jon Whitchurch and Oliver Cappleman, Directors at Lavee Solar added, “Our mission was to provide a high-performance, biodegradable product that is truly environmentally friendly and keeps panels cleaner for longer. Focusing on sustainability, performance and manufacturer confidence, we have delivered a product that offers a trusted, cost-effective route to higher energy yield and lower lifetime maintenance. We are delighted to partner with VERTECO to launch this innovation in the Middle East and to support their mission to address local environmental concerns.”

Suitable for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar panels, Lavee Solar offers significant operational and financial benefits while boosting ESG and Net Zero targets. It is fully compatible with both manual and automated cleaning systems and ensures enhanced performance and system longevity for owners. VERTECO will soon launch the product in the UAE, with planned expansion into Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.

Ellington Properties has announced its inaugural residential development in Dubai Silicon Oasis, ‘The Hillgate by Ellington Properties’, which is said to redefine the concept of living and investing in the city. The project is set for completion in Q4 2027.

The project will offer a blend of design excellence, wellness-focused amenities, and community living, catering to those seeking a meaningful and enduring lifestyle in one of Dubai’s most promising new corridors. People are increasingly seeking homes that prioritise livability, community, and long-term value, the developer said in its statement.

“The Hillgate reflects Ellington’s continued commitment to meaningful design – homes that go beyond form to respond to how people truly live. As Dubai Silicon Oasis transforms into a dynamic lifestyle and innovation hub, this development offers a rare combination of architectural quality, accessibility, and long-term value. Through our participation in the First-Time Home Buyer Programme, we’re proud to help more residents step into ownership with a community that prioritises connectivity, comfort, and character,” said Joseph Thomas, Co-Founder of Ellington Properties.

Situated just minutes from Silicon Central Mall, parks, and an emerging retail and dining scene, The Hillgate offers seamless urban connectivity. Its location along the route of the new Blue Metro Line will enhance mobility across Dubai, linking residents directly to hubs such as Business Bay, DIFC, and Dubai International Airport, the developer added.

Architecturally, The Hillgate’s stepped structure and layered façade create a distinct silhouette while optimising views and light across its residences. Homes range from studios to four-bedroom apartments and duplexes, all featuring open-plan layouts, expansive windows, and details from bronze accents to kitchen islands designed for both aesthetics and practicality.

Shared spaces echo the development’s wellness-led and community-first values. These include a wellness studio, a clubhouse designed to double as a co-working lounge, and a quiet library overlooking landscaped gardens. A soundproof music room (Harmonic Hall), arcade lounge, and indoor-outdoor play areas reflect Ellington’s dedication to creative expression and family-friendly design. Outdoors, the community features lap and leisure pools, shaded seating, and a BBQ deck that encourages social gathering and retreat, the statement outlined.

Arriving at a time when more residents are transitioning from renting to owning, The Hillgate is among Ellington’s select projects to be part of the First-Time Home Buyer Programme – a government-led initiative designed to make home-ownership more accessible for UAE citizens and long-term residents. The programme offers priority access and exclusive mortgage incentives, putting The Hillgate within reach for eligible buyers seeking a design-led lifestyle in an up-and-coming community, the statement concluded.
