Residential solar systems are getting popular and cheaper in Pakistan, over 15% of households use green energy as an electricity resource.
Almost everything in the house is run by electricity. Powering homes with green energy won’t only give affordable electricity, but it guarantees annual profits as well. However, the system installation may require a one-time investment that’d give long-term benefits to the consumers.
Several companies now offer solar energy installation services in Pakistan, making the public curious about how much energy a residential solar system generates and which is the right option for them.
Following are comprehensive details about residential solar system types and capacities.
Solar System Types:
Three major solar system types are on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid.
On-Grid Solar System: It is connected to the city's power company. Consumers can use solar-generated electric supply as well as electricity provided by the grid company. The consumers can sell the extra solar-generated electricity to the power company through net metering. However, since there is still a connection between the consumer’s house and the grid company, the solar system will shut down in case of load shedding or power breakdown.
Off-Grid Solar System: This system lets solar panels generate the power supply alone. There is no connection to the grid company, which gives consumers complete independence. However, the cost of batteries and generators would be much more costly.
Hybrid Solar System: A hybrid solar system allows consumers to save some of the extra electricity produced by solar systems to batteries. Even though there is a power breakdown of load shedding, consumers can still use the power stored in the batteries.
Solar Systems Capacity:
The amount of electricity consumed per month is directly proportional to the capacity of the solar power system.

Pakistan has great potential to transform electricity production and supply through green energy, and it would soon shift its primary energy production to solar energy.
And, due to the limited supply and high tariffs, electricity generated by coal and gas would challenge Pakistan’s current economic state. That’s why more people are interested in shifting to green energy.
Why choose solar lights for street lighting in Pakistan? Street solar lights are self-contained lighting systems mounted on poles that use photovoltaic solar energy stored in batteries to power lighting systems at night.
Lahore’s Orange Line Metro Train stations are planned to shift to solar energy. The mass transit system has crossed the 100 million rides milestone so far.
Solar power is a promising energy option for residential energy supply that gives you uninterrupted electricity, comfort, and peace of mind. But, before powering your home with solar energy, it is vital to know some facts about it.
Solar power is a source of clean and renewable energy that is eco-friendly, with 0% carbon emission and poses a minimum threat to public health. A solar energy system is an array of multiple PV panels that generate electricity from sunlight.
