Find it on your electricity bill as “units consumed”. Use an average of several months.

System type
Optional: estimate payback

Divide the total of a recent bill by its units to get your average rate. The estimate assumes the solar units replace grid units at that rate. Under net billing, exported units are credited at a lower buyback rate, so savings can be smaller.

Panels alone at the current market rate (PKR 41/W): about PKR 157,850. This excludes inverter, battery, mounting, cables, installation and approvals.

Uses 5.3 peak sun hours, 14% system losses and 96% inverter efficiency (82.6% combined), sized to offset 500 units a month on average. Summer output is higher and winter lower than this average.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a city?

Each city gets a different amount of sunshine, so the same monthly units need a different number of panels. City pages pre-fill a planning value for peak sun hours.

Can I use this outside Pakistan?

Yes. Choose 'Other' and enter your own peak sun hours. The formulas do not depend on location.
