Updated Solar Panel Price in Pakistan 2025 – New Rates After Major Price Drop
Solar panel prices in Pakistan have plummeted to an all-time low of Rs. 25–37 per watt for A-grade panels, a massive drop from Rs. 39–44 earlier this year. This dramatic 25–40% price slash is sparking a solar revolution, making clean energy affordable for millions amid soaring electricity tariffs of Rs. 65 per unit.

Why Prices Are Crashing
- Chinese Oversupply: Pakistan imported 8,000 MW of panels in 2024, with China’s overproduction flooding the market.
- Policy Changes: Reduced net metering rates to Rs. 10 per unit have lowered demand for large systems, cutting costs by up to Rs. 175,000.
- Tech Advancements: Efficient technologies like HJT are driving down production costs.
- Tax Breaks: Import tax exemptions are keeping prices low.
- Market Rivalry: More suppliers are competing as demand surges.
What This Means for You
A 5 kW solar system now costs Rs. 500,000–550,000, down from Rs. 675,000–825,000, saving 300–400 units monthly (~Rs. 19,500 at current rates). With Pakistan as the world’s sixth-largest solar market, this is the perfect time to switch to solar.
Challenges Ahead
The Pakistan Solar Association warns that lower net metering rates may slow large installations. Grid upgrades are crucial to handle the solar boom.
