What is the price of a 1kW or 2kW solar system in Pakistan?

A 1kW Solar Hybrid System Package is available for PKR 98,000 from The Xperts, as observed on 2026-08-26. For 2kW systems, no complete packages were found listed by retailers we checked. Most packaged solar systems in Pakistan begin at 3kW, making 1kW systems a rare find in pre-configured packages.

Prices for solar systems in Pakistan can fluctuate with the US dollar exchange rate and changes in import duties. The figures presented here reflect prices as of our observation date.

Solar System Package Prices (1kW and 3kW)

The following table lists available solar system packages relevant to smaller residential needs, including the single 1kW package found and the smallest commonly available 3kW packages.

What the price does and does not include

The 1kW Solar Hybrid System Package from The Xperts does not specify its contents, so it is unclear what components are included for the PKR 98,000 price.

For the 3kW packages from buysolar.pk, the listed prices of PKR 300,000 (without battery) and PKR 420,000 (with battery) are comprehensive. They include:

• Solar Modules: 5 x 610-615W Tier 1 Solar Modules.
• Inverter: A 3kW Crown Inverter (PV 3000).
• Mounting Structure: G.I Sheet 14 Gauge.
• Wiring: DC Wire, AC & DC Breakers, Box etc.
• Installation: Installation and 02 Years Free After Sales Services.
• Battery: The PKR 420,000 package includes a Crown (24V 100Ah) Lithium Battery; the PKR 300,000 package does not include a battery.

These figures represent a package price, which typically covers the primary components and their installation. However, a real installed system may incur additional costs not always itemized in these package descriptions. These can include:

• Earthing: Essential for safety, often listed separately or as a general "etc."
• Net Metering: Fees and processes for connecting to the grid, if applicable for hybrid systems.
• Site-specific adjustments: Special structural requirements, longer cable runs, or difficult access.
• Protection: Additional surge protection devices (SPDs) or advanced circuit breakers beyond basic inclusions.

How to choose and size a small solar system

Choosing between a 1kW and a 2kW system, or even stepping up to a 3kW package, depends on your energy needs and budget. Since 2kW packages are not readily available, you would likely need to consider a 1kW package or a 3kW system.

A 1kW solar system is typically suitable for very basic power needs, such as lighting, fans, and charging small electronics during power outages. It might not be enough to run heavy appliances like air conditioners or refrigerators for extended periods.

To size a system, you need to calculate your daily energy consumption in Watt-hours (Wh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh).

1. List your appliances: Identify all electrical appliances you intend to power with solar.
2. Find their wattage: Check the power rating (in Watts) for each appliance.
3. Estimate daily usage: Determine how many hours per day each appliance will run.
4. Calculate daily Wh: Multiply wattage by hours of use for each appliance, then sum them up.

• Multiply each appliance's wattage by the hours you run it, then add them up.

5. Add a buffer: Account for inefficiencies and future needs.

A 1kW system, under ideal conditions, can produce approximately 4-5 kWh per day in Pakistan, depending on sunlight hours and panel efficiency. A 2kW system would roughly double that output.

If your calculated daily consumption exceeds what a 1kW system can reliably provide, or if you want to power more significant loads, a 3kW system might be a more practical starting point. You can estimate the number of panels required for different system sizes using our guide on how many panels for a 5kW-10kW system. For more detailed calculations, you can use online solar sizing tools.

What we could not verify

Our search for 1kW and 2kW solar system packages in Pakistan revealed a significant gap in the market. While a single 1kW hybrid system package was found at The Xperts for PKR 98,000, no other retailer we checked on 2026-08-26 published a price for a complete 2kW solar system package. Most packaged solar system offerings begin at the 3kW capacity.

Furthermore, no source we could reach publishes specific component prices for individual solar panels (per watt), small inverters, or batteries when sold separately. This limitation means we could not independently "build" a 1kW or 2kW system from component costs,. The prices presented are exclusively for the pre-configured packages listed by retailers.

The absence of detailed component pricing means that if you wish to assemble a 1kW or 2kW system yourself, you would need to source individual component prices directly from suppliers, which were not available in our verified data.
