Solar prices in Pakistan depend on four things: system size, system type (on-grid, hybrid or off-grid), battery size, and the brands you choose. Below are typical 2026 ranges for complete, installed systems in Karachi, including panels, inverter, structure, wiring and installation.
Typical solar system prices in 2026
| System | On-grid (no battery) | Hybrid with lithium battery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 kW | Rs 2.6 to 3.2 lakh | Rs 5.2 to 6.3 lakh (5 kWh battery) |
| 5 kW | Rs 4.3 to 5.2 lakh | Rs 7.2 to 8.9 lakh (5 kWh battery) |
| 10 kW | Rs 8.6 to 10.5 lakh | Rs 14.5 to 17.7 lakh (10 kWh battery) |
| 15 kW | Rs 12.8 to 15.7 lakh | On request |
These are market estimates, not a quote. Premium inverter and battery brands, long cable runs or raised structures can push the price up; simpler roofs can bring it down.
Which size do I need?
In Karachi, 1 kW of panels produces about 135 units a month. Divide your average monthly units by 135 to get a starting size. A home using 600 units a month needs about 4.5 kW.
On-grid or hybrid?
- On-grid is the lowest cost and suits homes and businesses with reliable supply that mainly want a lower bill.
- Hybrid adds a lithium battery for backup during load shedding. Under NEPRA’s 2026 net billing rules, hybrid systems also help you use more of your own solar, which improves savings.
