Solar & Battery Design Tools for Pakistan Design Systems, Calculate ROI & Find Installers

Design solar and battery systems across Pakistan using Photonik's professional design platform. Pakistan receives abundant sunshine throughout the year, making it one of the most promising markets for rooftop solar in South Asia. With frequent load shedding and rising electricity tariffs, solar provides both energy security and significant cost savings for Pakistani households.

Energy Usage

The right solar system size for your Pakistan property depends on how much electricity you use each day. Typical homes consume approximately 8 kWh daily on average, though well-insulated properties with efficient appliances often use significantly less.

It's worth reducing your energy usage before going solar, as this can decrease the system size you need and improve payback. Focus on better insulation and energy efficient appliances.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Pakistan:

Low (Efficient)
~4 kWh
Medium (average)
~6 kWh
High (intensive)
~10+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

Most solar installers in Pakistan would recommend starting at around 2.1kW for a household using 8 kWh per day, with room to go larger if budget allows. For best results, size your system between 3.2kW and 4.2kW to account for fluctuations in solar output throughout the day and year.

A 3.2 kW solar installation in Pakistan typically produces 13.8 kWh per day on average, with seasonal output ranging between 3.44 kWh/kW/day (December) and 4.82 kWh/kW/day (April).

Solar & Energy Savings


Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings

Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).

Battery Storage Pakistan


Solar Battery Sizing

Even without a battery, 50% self-sufficiency from a 3.2 kW system in Pakistan means a significant reduction in your electricity bills. Beyond the bill savings, a 10 kWh battery at 99% self-sufficiency also provides backup power during outages — an increasingly valued feature for homeowners.

Battery economics depend on your specific tariff structure and usage patterns — the Photonik design tool can model these scenarios with your actual electricity plan.

0 kWh 30 kWh

lightbulb A 0kWh battery will make you about 0% self sufficient.

The sweet spot for most households is 5 – 13 kWh — larger batteries add independence but with diminishing payback, especially where feed-in tariffs are low.

Solar & Battery System Cost Pakistan


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

At around ₨932,126 for a 3.2 kW system in Pakistan, solar is one of the best home investments available — especially with electricity costs continuing to rise. While batteries extend the payback period beyond 11.7 years, they also protect against future electricity price rises and provide backup power during outages.

The cost breakdown shows estimates for equipment costs, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Adjust system size and battery storage to see how it affects total investment and payback periods.
