In Pakistan, a typical 5kW Solar System generates ~600-750 units/month with a payback period of 2.5 to 3.5 years. A 10kW Solar System generates ~1,200-1,500 units/month, achieving 100% bill offset for medium homes. Net metering allows grid export credit under NEPRA rules. Estimate your exact solar investment return, monthly savings, and payback timeline using the Techlo.pk Solar ROI Calculator.

🔬 How We Calculate Solar ROI

1

System Production

1 kW produces ~130 units/month in Pakistan (avg 5 peak sun hours × 30 days × 0.85 efficiency).

2

Annual Degradation

Solar panels degrade ~0.5% per year. We factor this into 25-year projections for realistic estimates.

3

Rising Tariffs

Pakistan's electricity tariffs rise 8-15% annually. Solar savings increase each year as grid rates climb.

☀️ Maximize Your Solar Investment

📐 Right-Size Your System

Don't over-invest. Match your system size to your consumption. Net metering credits are paid at lower rates than what you buy at.

🧹 Keep Panels Clean

Dusty panels lose 15-25% efficiency. Clean them weekly or install an auto-wash system. Return on cleaning is enormous.

📋 Apply for Net Metering

Register with your DISCO for net metering. It takes 2-4 weeks. Without it, your excess generation is wasted.

🔋 Battery: Optional

With net metering, batteries aren't necessary for savings. Only add batteries if you need backup during outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can solar save on my electricity bill?
A well-sized solar system can reduce your DISCO bill by 70-100%. Net metering allows you to sell excess units back to the grid, potentially zeroing out your bill.
What size solar system do I need?
Divide your monthly units by 120-130. For example, if you use 500 units/month, you need approximately a 4 kW system. This calculator does that math for you.
How long does solar take to pay back in Pakistan?
Typical payback is 3-5 years depending on system size, electricity rates, and net metering. After payback, you enjoy free electricity for 20+ more years.
Is net metering available in Pakistan?
Yes, NEPRA allows net metering for solar systems up to 1 MW. Your DISCO installs a bidirectional meter and you get credits for exported units at a determined rate.
What about cloudy days and winters?
Pakistan averages 5-6 peak sun hours even in winter. Cloudy days reduce output by 30-50%, but annual averages remain strong. This calculator accounts for seasonal variation.
