Common questions answered.

How much does a solar system cost in Pakistan in 2026?+

A 5 kW on-grid system typically costs Rs 600,000–700,000. A hybrid system with battery backup runs Rs 900,000–1,050,000. Prices vary by brand, city, and installer. Use our free calculator above for a personalised estimate based on your bill.

What size solar system do I need for my home?+

It depends on your monthly electricity bill and WAPDA tariff rate. For a Rs 20,000 bill at Rs 65/unit, you need roughly a 3 kW system. For Rs 50,000, about 7 kW. Our Pak-Smart Calculator gives you an exact size instantly.

How long is the payback period for solar in Pakistan?+

Most Pakistani homes see a 3–5 year payback period, depending on their system size and electricity bill. After breakeven, your solar power is essentially free for the remaining 20+ years the panels last.

Are there government solar schemes in Pakistan?+
