ISLAMABAD – If you are looking to buy small to medium scale Solar unit for your home or business, it is best time to invest as prices saw a slight plunge after government axed buy back rates. With revised rates, entry level solar system starts around Rs150,000 and goes all the way to 170,000.
After record-breaking growth in solar adoption, Pakistan’s solar sector is showing signs of slight slowdown as government’s decision to slash the net-metering buyback rate to Rs10 per unit hit hard. Those familiar with trend link slowdown to recent policy revisions that reduce financial returns for solar users selling surplus electricity back to the national grid.
The new regulations, however, will not impact existing net-metering users until their current licenses or agreements expire, providing some temporary relief for early adopters.

Despite the change, Pakistan’s overall solar capacity continues to show strong year-on-year growth, jumping from just 321 megawatts in 2021 to 4,124 megawatts by December 2024. The country remains committed to its long-term renewable energy goal—generating one-third of its electricity from green sources.
While the recent policy shift has dampened momentum slightly, experts believe the declining cost of solar technology and rising energy awareness will sustain growth, albeit at a more moderate pace.
