Electricity prices in Pakistan are going up every year — and with load-shedding still affecting homes and businesses, more people are asking: “How much does a solar system cost in Pakistan in 2025?”
The good news is that solar has become more affordable, more reliable, and more rewarding than ever. Whether you’re a homeowner tired of heavy WAPDA bills or a business owner looking to cut costs, solar energy is now the smartest investment you can make.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
Let’s dive in 👇
The cost of a solar system depends on its capacity (kW), the type of system (on-grid, off-grid, or hybrid), and the quality of panels and inverters.
Here’s a quick price overview (approximate market ranges in PKR):
System Size | Ideal For | Approx. Cost (PKR) | Monthly Savings* |
3kW | Small homes (2–3 ACs) | 650,000 – 750,000 | 15,000 – 18,000 |
5kW | Medium homes (3–4 ACs) | 1,000,000 – 1,200,000 | 25,000 – 30,000 |
10kW | Large homes & small businesses | 1,900,000 – 2,200,000 | 50,000 – 60,000 |
20kW+ | Commercial setups | 3,800,000+ | 100,000+ |
*Savings vary by usage, DISCO unit rate, and sunlight availability.
👉 Pro tip: Most Pakistani homes today prefer a 5kW solar system because it balances cost and savings perfectly.
On-grid systems are connected to the WAPDA grid and allow net metering. They don’t need batteries, which makes them cheaper.
Off-grid systems use batteries and don’t rely on the grid. They’re great for areas with heavy load-shedding or no grid access at all.
Hybrid systems connect to both the grid and batteries, giving you the flexibility of backup power plus net metering benefits.
Solar isn’t just about electricity — it’s about freedom from high bills.
Example:
Most solar systems in Pakistan pay for themselves in 3–5 years — and then keep saving you money for the next 20 years.
With net metering, you can export excess units back to the grid and get credits. This means:
All major DISCOs in Pakistan (LESCO, IESCO, K-Electric, etc.) now support net metering, making it a must-have.
Going solar in Pakistan in 2025 is not just an option — it’s the best financial and lifestyle decision you can make. With systems starting as low as 650,000 PKR and payback in just a few years, you can say goodbye to heavy WAPDA bills and enjoy clean, reliable, and affordable energy.
