Real solar. Real numbers. No guesswork.
What solar system do you need? Start with your question.
Plain words, big text, one step at a time. Made for parents and young buyers both - every tool explains its words.
One system at a time - featured systems
Each slide is one real system size, with its example price, the monthly units it can make, and who it suits best. Prices are November 2026 examples, checked 4 Nov 2026 and now stale. The slide changes on its own - or use Pause, Previous and Next.
Pick your home - one tap, shortlist ready
Tap one button. The catalogue and the Finder filter to how you live, and the reason is written in plain words below.
Questions people ask on Google
Tap any question. You get a short direct answer first, then the right tool. These are the real searches Pakistan buyers make every day.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
Answer in 10 seconds: check your monthly units on your bill. 300 units is about 3 kW, 650 units is about 5 kW, 1200 units is about 10 kW.
Single-phase vs three-phase for net billing: Many DISCOs require a three-phase connection for net billing, and systems above 5 kW usually need three-phase. If you are single-phase, the Finder warns you - confirm with your DISCO and budget for a phase upgrade before paying an installer.
What is the price of a 3kW, 5kW, 10kW, 15kW and 20kW solar system?
Short answer: 3 kW hybrid is about PKR 365,000, 5 kW hybrid about PKR 585,000, 10 kW hybrid about PKR 1,050,000 in November 2026 examples. On-grid is cheaper because it has no battery. Off-grid is higher because the battery is bigger.
Catalogue - by size, panel brand and inverter brand
Every group starts with a short Look for paragraph, then a shortlist: one line per item, with price, key spec and one reason. Two kinds of rows live here, and every line is labelled: panel and inverter rows carry sourced prices or ranges with the source named, while system rows are the November 2026 guide examples used across this site, labelled Unverified / Example only. Where sources disagree the line says Price conflict, and where no price could be verified it says Price check in progress. No price is guessed.
Best for your situation
Each group starts closed - tap to open it. Sizing uses the one basis shared by every tool on this site: system size = monthly units divided by 120, the same basis as the Finder and the calculator. Heat, dust, shading and battery age then cut real output below claimed output, so each group also says when to price the next size up instead of trusting the first number.
How much will I save and how long is payback?
Short answer: A 5 kW hybrid at 70 percent self-use often pays back in about 3 to 4 years under net billing. Under old net metering it looked faster. Use your own bill below.
The one basis used everywhere on this page
Every saving figure on this site uses this single basis, so the Finder, the catalogue and this calculator never disagree with each other:
Monthly units made = system kW x 120 units per kW (site range 100 to 140, by city, season, shade and dust)
Saving per month = (units you use yourself x your slab rate) + (units exported x export rate) - nothing else
One self-used unit saves your full slab rate. One exported unit earns only PKR 11 to 13 under net billing.Scenarios are labelled because your DISCO tariff and the export rate move: Scenario A - net billing (Feb 2026 onward) is the default below. Scenario B - old net metering 1 to 1 applies only to older connections. Battery replacement is a range, not one figure: a 5 kWh lithium unit is a PKR 185,000 guide example on this site (Unverified / Example only), and a sourced 10 to 15 kWh bank is PKR 350,000 to 700,000 (solarpanelmarket.pk, checked 4 Nov 2026) - type the figure from your own quote. Maintenance is split out as its own input below and left at Rs 0 by default, so no figure is assumed for you.
Assumptions used for every calculator result
Generation per kW per month comes from the slider or city preset (100 to 140 units is the normal range, never a guarantee). Self-use share, export rate and import rate are the values you entered above. Fixed charges and taxes stay on the bill in both cases. The realistic payback adds the inverter replacement, battery replacement and yearly maintenance values you entered, and applies the yearly degradation you entered. Prices are November 2026 examples - if any input is blank, zero or negative where a positive number is needed, no calculation is shown and an error explains what to fix. Saving is also shown as a range, using the low and high ends of the generation range, and the NPV line discounts 25 years of net saving at the discount rate you enter.
Which panel and inverter is best for me?
Short answer: Longi, Jinko, Canadian Solar, JA Solar and Trina 580W N-type panels are all close in quality. Pick on price per watt, real warranty and a genuine serial number - not only the brand name.
Compare brands
Price ranges below are worked out from the checked model prices already on this page - panel brands from the sourced per watt rates, inverter brands from the billhub.pk ranges, both checked 4 Nov 2026. Not published means the source does not state it - it is never guessed.
On phone, this table stacks into cards so you never need to scroll sideways. In the compare table above, the winner in each row is marked.
What is the best solar panel and best solar inverter in Pakistan?
Direct answer: Best panel is a genuine A-grade 580W N-type panel with a checkable serial and 12 year product warranty. Best inverter is a hybrid model that is on your DISCO approved list, with service in your city.
What is the solar panel price per watt in Pakistan?
Short answer: On 4 Nov 2026, solarrate.pk put the typical rate at Rs 39.8/W, checkprice.pk put Tier-1 at Rs 37 to 46/W, and other sources put Longi at Rs 41.8 to 45/W. Sources disagree, so ranges are shown below with name, link and checked date for every row. Rows with no source link are labelled Unverified / Example only. See all sources - How prices update
Method in this static version: a person re-checks the source pages on the Sources page and rebuilds this page with a new date. This page cannot fetch dealer prices itself. For what a real 6 hour automatic update needs (domain, server, backend, scheduled job), see How prices update. If a source cannot be checked, the previous dated price is kept and flagged Stale - check again. Prices are never invented.
Manual refresh re-checks what this page can check and reports honestly what it could not.
| Item | Price - Nov 2026 example | Status | Source and date |
|---|
Flags: Sourced price means a source name, link and checked date are shown in that row and you can open it yourself. Sources conflict means two sources disagree and both ranges are shown, not averaged into one fake exact price. Unverified / Example only means this guide uses the figure as a November 2026 example in its tools, but no source in the 4 Nov 2026 set publishes that exact figure. A-grade and B-grade are never mixed.
What solar system is best for a 3 marla, 5 marla, 10 marla and 1 kanal home?
Short guide: 3 marla often 3 kW, 5 marla often 5 kW, 10 marla often 10 kW, 1 kanal often 15 to 20 kW. Final size depends on your units, not only plot size.
Where can I find a solar installer in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and other cities?
Small but real directory, checked 4 Nov 2026 from official websites. Every card is labelled Public listing - checked 4 Nov 2026 - not yet phone-called by Solar Guide Pakistan team. That is honest: the name, address, phone and services are as published on the official site, but this team has not yet called, visited, or checked past work. Always verify before paying.
How verification works - read this first
Public listing - checked 4 Nov 2026 - not yet phone-called by Solar Guide Pakistan team
These are real businesses found on their official public websites on 4 Nov 2026. Details are copied as published, with the official site linked on every card as the source. This team has not phone-called any of them yet, so no card is called Verified by us, and no install count, rating, or track record is added unless the official source stated it and the card says so. A fully phone-verified listing would require: 1) a phone verification call on the number to be printed, 2) an office visit or past work check, and 3) two past customers the team can call. The verification date would be printed on the card when that happens.
8 real listings: 3 Lahore, 3 Karachi, 1 Islamabad, 1 Nationwide. Filter by city only, so no brand or size claim is invented for a listing.
Call the published number, visit the address, ask for panel serials in writing and two past customers.
