Overview
- Market reports show 5–15 kW rooftop systems are cheaper by up to Rs150,000, easing upfront costs for new buyers.
- Current advertised rates are 5 kW Rs550,000; 7 kW Rs625,000; 10 kW Rs900,000; 12 kW Rs1,050,000; and 15 kW Rs1,300,000.
- Climate official Aisha Moriani told Reuters that rooftop output is expected to exceed daytime grid demand next year in Lahore, with Faisalabad and Sialkot likely to follow.
- Policymakers plan new tariffs and revised fee structures so large solar users share grid maintenance costs as utility revenues decline.
- Dealers and local outlets attribute recent price cuts to lower panel import costs, increased competition, and a seasonal dip in electricity demand.
