Solar System Size Guide for Pakistan Homes
| System Size | Best For | Monthly Bill | Est. Monthly Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5kW | Small homes, 1–2 ACs | PKR 15,000–25,000 | Up to PKR 20,000 |
| 8kW | Medium homes, 2–3 ACs | PKR 25,000–40,000 | Up to PKR 35,000 |

Actual savings depend on system configuration, usage, and net metering status.
What is Net Metering?
Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows solar system owners to send excess electricity back to the national grid. Your electricity meter runs backward when you produce more than you use, reducing your WAPDA/LESCO bill or earning credits. In Pakistan, net metering is regulated by NEPRA.
What is an On-Grid Solar System?
An on-grid (grid-tied) solar system is connected to the national electricity grid. It uses solar power during the day and draws from the grid at night. On-grid systems qualify for net metering but do not provide power during load-shedding unless paired with battery backup.
What is a Hybrid Solar System?
A hybrid solar system combines solar panels with battery storage and remains connected to the grid. It stores excess energy in batteries for use during load-shedding or at night, providing uninterrupted power supply (UPS) functionality along with the bill savings of solar.
What are Tier-1 Solar Panels?
Tier-1 solar panels come from manufacturers with a proven 5+ year track record, strong financial ratings, and fully automated production processes. They offer the highest reliability, consistent output, and the strongest long-term warranties. Solarlink uses only Tier-1 panels including Canadian Solar.
Why Solar Is the Right Choice for Pakistan Homes in 2026
Pakistan faces a unique combination of challenges that make solar not just attractive but essential for homeowners: among the highest electricity tariff growth in Asia, frequent load-shedding, and one of the world's highest solar irradiance levels. With over 300 sunny days per year and peak sun hours of 5–6 hours daily in Punjab, solar panels in Pakistan generate more electricity per panel than in most European countries.
The financial case is equally compelling. A 10kW solar system installed in 2026 will generate electricity worth over PKR 15,000,000 over its 25-year lifespan at current tariff rates — for an upfront investment of PKR 1.2M–1.8M. With a payback period of just 3–4 years, no other investment in Pakistan offers comparable returns.
What to Expect From Your Solarlink Installation
From your first call to the day your system goes live, Solarlink manages every detail. Our process begins with a free site survey where our engineers assess your roof orientation, shading, and energy consumption. We then design a system optimized specifically for your home — not a generic package.
Installation typically takes 2–5 days for residential systems. Our teams handle all civil work, electrical connections, and safety testing. We don't consider a job complete until you have seen your system running and understand how to monitor it. After commissioning, our after-sales team handles your net metering application and remains reachable for any queries.
Residential Solar — Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions our customers ask most.
How much does a residential solar system cost in Pakistan?
A residential solar system in Pakistan typically costs between PKR 8–25 lakh depending on system size (5–15kW). A 10kW on-grid system costs approximately PKR 12–16 lakh installed. SolarLink provides free site surveys and custom proposals with no obligation.
What size solar system do I need for my home?
For most homes in Punjab with monthly bills of PKR 20,000–50,000, a 5–10kW system is recommended. For bills above PKR 50,000, a 10–15kW system may be needed. SolarLink engineers assess your consumption, roof space, and budget to recommend the ideal size.
How long does residential solar installation take?
Typical residential installation takes 1–3 days. The complete process from inquiry to commissioning — including site survey, design, procurement, and installation — takes approximately 2–4 weeks.
Will I really get a zero electricity bill?
With a correctly sized on-grid or hybrid solar system, your net metered bill can drop to near zero or generate credits. Many SolarLink customers in Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Sargodha report monthly bills under PKR 1,000 after installation.
What happens to my solar system during load-shedding?
A standard on-grid system shuts down during load-shedding for safety. To maintain power during outages, a hybrid system with battery storage is recommended. SolarLink can help you choose the right option for your needs and budget.
Does SolarLink help with net metering for residential customers?
Yes. SolarLink handles the complete net metering application process for LESCO, IESCO, MEPCO, and GEPCO — from documentation to DISCO inspection to bi-directional meter installation.
What warranty does SolarLink provide?
SolarLink provides a 2-year workmanship warranty on all installations. Growatt inverters come with 5-year standard warranty (extendable to 10) and Canadian Solar panels carry a 25-year linear power output warranty.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
For an average Pakistani home paying PKR 20,000–30,000 per month in electricity, a 5kW to 8kW system (10–16 panels) is typically sufficient. Homes with 3+ air conditioners usually need 10kW or more. A free site survey gives the exact recommendation.
What is the payback period for solar in Pakistan?
The typical payback period for solar in Pakistan is 3 to 4 years. After that, you enjoy essentially free electricity for the remaining 20+ years of your system's life. Rising electricity tariffs are making payback periods shorter every year.
Will my solar system work during load-shedding?
On-grid solar systems automatically shut down during load-shedding for safety. For uninterrupted power, Solarlink recommends a hybrid system with battery backup, which keeps your home powered even when the grid is down.
Does Solarlink provide after-sales support?
Yes. Solarlink provides a 1-year warranty on all installation work and offers ongoing maintenance and after-sales support. Our team is reachable by phone or WhatsApp from offices across Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Sargodha.
Can I get net metering for my home solar system?
Yes. Any grid-connected solar system above 1kW qualifies for net metering in Pakistan. Solarlink handles the full application process with WAPDA/LESCO on your behalf. Approval typically takes 4–8 weeks.
How many solar panels do I need for a 3-bedroom house in Pakistan?
A 3-bedroom house in Pakistan with 2 air conditioners typically requires a 6kW to 8kW system — approximately 12 to 16 panels of 580W each. Homes with larger load profiles or 3+ ACs may need 10kW. Solarlink provides a free site survey to calculate the exact requirement.
Can solar panels run AC in Pakistan?
Yes. Solar panels can run air conditioners in Pakistan. A 1.5-ton AC consumes approximately 1.5kW per hour. A 10kW solar system can comfortably run 4–6 air conditioners simultaneously during peak sun hours. Hybrid systems with battery backup also power ACs during load-shedding.
What is the best solar system for home in Pakistan?
For most Pakistani homes, a hybrid solar system with net metering is the best option. It reduces bills by 70–100% using net metering, and the battery backup keeps your home powered during load-shedding. Solarlink recommends Growatt hybrid inverters with Canadian Solar Tier-1 panels for maximum reliability.
