The Solar Panel Price in Pakistan
During the present situation, the energy prices in Pakistan like countries are increasing day by day. The average unit price(per KWH) from the WAPDA is approximately 65 PKR. It is very difficult for consumers whose consumption is 500 units (KWH) per month or plus to pay such a huge amount for electricity usage. However, the solar panel price in Pakistan varies due to different factors such as efficiency, quality of panel, demand, companies, and size of solar systems.
Now the consumer wants to move toward cheap and sustainable energy because solar energy reduces the consumer’s expenses by up to 30% in the present situation. The solar energy potential in Pakistan is about 2.89 million MW. Therefore, everyone is thinking about moving towards renewable energy. The price of solar systems in Pakistan primarily depends on the cost of panels.
Being an Energy engineer, I have to deal with different solar companies in Pakistan. I am updated with the recent pricing of PV panels of different specifications and brands. So, I will provide the consumer solar price list to use according to the size of their system and budget.

Working of solar cell
The device directly converts light energy into electrical energy, known as solar cells. The solar cell consists of a p-n junction. It is made of silicon crystals. Solar cells only convert sunlight into electrical energy but not heat energy.
When the photon of sunlight falls on the solar cell it produces electron-hole pairs. These electron-hole pairs move through the circuit and produce electrical energy.

FAQ,s
Being an energy engineer, I have provided the list of solar panel prices in Pakistan for different brands and sizes of the system. I gathered this information from my colleagues who own companies or work in different companies. From time to time I discussed the price of solar panels with Engr. Bilal Sarwar. I also researched the prices of different brands of panels.
