Current Solar Panel & Inverter Prices in Pakistan (2026)
Solar equipment prices have stabilized in 2026 due to global supply chain improvements. Tier-1 N-Type TOPCon and monocrystalline bifacial panels (e.g. Longi Hi-MO 6/7, Jinko Tiger Neo, Canadian Solar 580W-650W) currently retail between PKR 38 to PKR 48 per watt in wholesale markets.
On-grid string inverters (Huawei, Sungrow, Solis, Growatt, Inverex Nitrox) range from PKR 220,000 to PKR 450,000 for 10kW to 20kW capacity.
- • 5 kW On-Grid System: PKR 650,000 – PKR 800,000 (Generates approx. 550–650 units/month; suitable for small 5–10 Marla homes).
- • 10 kW On-Grid System: PKR 1,150,000 – PKR 1,400,000 (Generates approx. 1,100–1,300 units/month; ideal for 1 Kanal homes with 2–3 ACs).
- • 15 kW On-Grid System: PKR 1,650,000 – PKR 2,050,000 (Generates approx. 1,700–2,000 units/month; suitable for large residences and multi-family homes).

Understanding the NEPRA Net Metering Process
Net metering allows solar system owners to export excess electricity generated during daylight hours back into the national grid via bidirectional green meters, offsetting evening and night-time grid consumption.
To apply for net metering, property owners must contract an AEDB (Alternative Energy Development Board) / NEPRA-certified solar installer who submits the technical load assessment, single-line diagrams, and test reports to the relevant distribution company (LESCO, K-Electric, IESCO, GEPCO, FESCO).
