Solar Panel Prices in Pakistan May 2025: 1KW, 3KW & 5KW System Rates Updated

If you’re considering installing a small to medium-scale solar system for your home or business, now might be the ideal time. “It is best time to invest as prices saw a slight plunge after government axed buy back rates.” Currently, an entry-level solar setup is available for around Rs150,000, going up to Rs170,000.

Pakistan’s solar sector, which saw unprecedented growth in recent years, is now witnessing a slight deceleration. Experts attribute this to the government’s decision to lower the net-metering buyback rate to Rs10 per unit. “Those familiar with trend link slowdown to recent policy revisions that reduce financial returns for solar users selling surplus electricity back to the national grid.”

However, “the new regulations will not impact existing net-metering users until their current licenses or agreements expire,” giving some breathing room to early adopters.

Despite the recent slowdown, solar energy continues to expand in Pakistan. Installed capacity has surged from just 321 megawatts in 2021 to 4,124 megawatts by the end of 2024. “Pakistan remains committed to its long-term renewable energy goal—generating one-third of its electricity from green sources.”

While the latest policy adjustments have slightly slowed the momentum, analysts believe “the declining cost of solar technology and rising energy awareness will sustain growth, albeit at a more moderate pace.”
