Want me to calculate what size system you’d need based on your electricity bill and budget?
solar power system lets you generate your own electricity using panels on your roof, cutting down on load shedding and high bills. Here’s the breakdown for Pakistan as of late 2025/2026:
1. Main Types of Systems
*On-Grid*
- Connected to WAPDA/K-Electric grid. No batteries.
- Best ROI if you have net metering. Excess power goes back to the grid and reduces your bill.
- Cheapest option. 3kW system: ~PKR 450,000–600,000
*Off-Grid*
- Fully independent with batteries. No connection to the grid.
- For areas with no grid or heavy load shedding.
- More expensive due to batteries. 2kW off-grid: ~PKR 250,000–380,000 e
*Hybrid*
- Grid + battery backup. Runs on solar by day, charges batteries, uses grid/battery at night.
- Most popular in Pakistan for load shedding. 5kW hybrid: ~PKR 900,000–1,200,000 ef0bb7fc
2. Price by System Size b7fc
System Size Price Range (PKR) What it Runs Monthly Units
**1kW** 150,000 – 250,000 Fans, lights, charging 90–120 units
**3kW** 380,000 – 600,000 Medium home, 1 AC 270–360 units
**5kW** 700,000 – 1,000,000 Large home, 2 ACs 450–600 units
**6kW** 900,000 – 1,300,000 2–3 ACs 600–720 units
**10kW** 1,100,000 – 1,800,000 Large home, office, shop 1,100–1,400 units
Prices vary by brand, battery type, and installation. Panel-only cost is around *PKR 34/W* in 2025. b7fc80cb
3. Key Components
- *Solar Panels*: Tier-1 brands like Longi, Jinko, JA Solar, Canadian Solar. 585W–615W panels are common now.
- *Inverter*: Converts DC to AC. On-grid, hybrid, or off-grid types.
- *Batteries*: Lithium batteries for hybrid/off-grid. Lead-acid is cheaper but has shorter life.
- *Structure, Wiring, Protection*: Mounting, DC/AC breakers, cables. 0849b7fc
4. Example Package
*6kW Hybrid System*
- 10 x 610-615W Tier-1 panels
- 6kW Itel Pro/Solis inverter
- 51.2V 100Ah Lithium battery
- Installation + 2 years service
- Price: *PKR 780,000–870,000
5. Things to Check Before Buying
1. *Your monthly units Check your bill. 500 units/month usually needs a 5kW system.
2. *Net metering Available in major cities. Lets you sell excess power back.
3. Roof space & direction*: South-facing roof with no shade is ideal.
4. Brand warranty Panels 25 years, inverter 5–10 years, lithium battery 5–10 years.
ROI is usually 2–4 years with current electricity rates.
