Solar power

Sized from your bills, not your roof

Panels and structure, hybrid and off-grid systems, inverter and battery banks, net-metering applications, servicing and repair. Every quote names what it includes — structure, DC conduit, protection, earthing — because that is where cheaper quotes differ.

Solar Panel Installation

Solar installation covers the survey, the panels, the mounting structure, DC and AC wiring, protection and commissioning. A 3kW on-grid system in Islamabad starts near PKR 350,000 complete, and the figure that matters is the one that includes structure and wiring rather than panels alone.

From
PKR 350,000
Time
A 3kW to 5kW rooftop is two to three days including commissioning

On-Grid, Off-Grid & Hybrid

On-grid is cheapest and dies with the grid. Off-grid runs independently but needs a battery bank sized for the worst week of the year. Hybrid does both and is what most Islamabad households actually want. Choosing between them changes the price more than any other decision on a solar quote.

From
PKR 550,000
Time
Three to four days for a hybrid including the essential-load board split

Inverter & Battery Bank Setup

The inverter and battery bank are where a solar system is won or lost: sizing, ventilation, cabling and protection decide whether the bank lasts eight years or three. A lithium bank with a hybrid inverter installed properly starts near PKR 320,000 for a household essential load.

From
PKR 320,000
Time
One to two days, including the commissioning cycle

Net Metering Application

Net metering lets your meter run backwards when you export, crediting units against what you draw at night. Getting it approved means a licensed application to IESCO with the right drawings and a bidirectional meter installed. The service runs PKR 35,000 to 60,000, separate from the DISCO's own charges.

From
PKR 35,000
Time
Preparation takes a few days; approval and meter installation depend on the DISCO's queue and are outside our control

Panel Cleaning & Servicing

Dust is the biggest single cause of lost output on a Pakistani rooftop, and a dirty array can shed a meaningful share of its generation before anyone notices. A clean-and-check visit runs PKR 6,000 to 15,000 depending on array size, and it includes the electrical checks a wash alone misses.

From
PKR 6,000
Time
A domestic array is two to three hours

Inverter & Panel Repair

When a solar system stops producing, the fault is usually the inverter, a string connector or a tripped protection device rather than the panels themselves. Diagnosis in Islamabad or Rawalpindi starts at PKR 5,000, taken off the bill if you go ahead with the repair.

From
PKR 5,000
Time
Most faults are diagnosed on the first visit; a bench repair or an ordered part adds a few days
