Size is the first decision, and your electricity bill is the best sizing tool you own: divide monthly units by 30, then by 4-5 (the units each KW produces daily in Pakistan), and you have your KW requirement.
| Package | Monthly units covered | Typical home/load | Runs in daytime |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3KW | 350-450 | Flat / small house, 1 AC used sparingly | Fans, fridge, lights, 1 inverter AC (careful use) |
| 5KW | 600-750 | Average 5-10 marla home | 1-2 inverter ACs + full base load |
| 8-10KW | 1,000-1,500 | Large home / 1-kanal house | 2-3 ACs, water pump, kitchen loads |
| 15-20KW | 1,800-3,000 | Small office, school, shop | Multiple ACs + commercial equipment |
| 50KW-1MW | Custom | Factory, mill, cold storage | Designed against your load profile |
Note how the 1.5-ton inverter AC, the single biggest summer load in most homes, drives the jump from 3KW to 5KW and beyond. If you sit between two sizes, step up rather than down per-watt cost falls as systems grow.
Three sizes cover the overwhelming majority of Pakistani homes. Here's who each one fits.
Suits flats, small houses and overseas families solarising a parents' home: 12-15 units daily, enough to flatten the base load and pull the bill out of punishing upper slabs.
The most-installed residential size: 20-25 units daily matches the 600-750-unit consumption of a typical family home running an inverter AC through summer.
At 40-50 units daily, 10KW covers 1-kanal houses with multiple ACs, or doubles as a small-office system. Benefits from per-watt economies.
The engineering changes with the use case, not just the size. Homes need quiet inverters, clean cable routing and structures that respect the roof you live under. Businesses care about daytime self-consumption shops and offices use power exactly when solar produces, which makes commercial payback often faster than residential.
Industrial packages are designed around 3-phase motor loads and shift patterns, frequently at 100KW+. Agricultural packages replace diesel tube-well pumping, where solar’s daytime generation matches irrigation hours. Whatever the sector, the package principle holds one BOQ, one warranty counterparty, one team accountable from survey through inspection.
The spreadsheet looks cheaper until the system runs. The package premium buys engineering you cannot bolt on later: an inverter genuinely matched to the array and your phase, cable gauges calculated for your roof-to-meter run (undersized cable silently eats 3-5% of generation), and protections specified as a system.
It also buys one warranty counterparty for the whole installation instead of four vendors pointing at each other when output drops and the net-metering file that self-assembled systems routinely stall on for months. Across 1,000+ installations we’ve repaired enough piecemeal systems to say it plainly: the cheapest route to a working, warrantied, net-metered system is buying it as one engineered package.
A 10-marla Islamabad home on IESCO uses 700 units a month and sees almost no load-shedding. Option one: a 5KW on-grid package lowest cost, every daytime unit self-consumed or exported, payback at the fast end of 2.5-4 years. Option two: the 5KW hybrid with a lithium battery costs more upfront, payback stretches, but evenings run on stored solar and outages never reach the fridge.
Your load-shedding hours not the salesman should pick your package.
A complete price is built from five blocks. When two quotes for the "same" 5KW system differ widely, line these up the gap is almost always B-grade panels, painted-iron structures or an excluded net-metering file.
| Cost block | What drives it | Where cheap quotes cut corners |
|---|---|---|
| Panels | Largest share, priced per watt, tied to the dollar | B-grade / stock-lot substituted for Tier-1 |
| Inverter | Brand and hybrid-vs-on-grid choice | Unbranded units with no local service |
| Structure & BOS | Steel, cabling, protections | Painted angle iron, undersized cable, missing surge protection |
| Battery (if hybrid) | Chemistry and usable capacity | Tubular sold as "lithium-equivalent" |
| Installation & net metering | Labour + DISCO processing | Net-metering file excluded from scope |
Our packages price all five blocks in one written BOQ, so the number you sign is the number you pay current rates by size are on the price hub.
After you book
Every package follows the same delivery rhythm: survey and final design first, then structure fabrication and roof work, then panel mounting, wiring and protections, then inverter commissioning and app setup complete in 7-15 days from booking. Net-metering paperwork runs in parallel so the DISCO file is moving while the roof work happens, not after it.
You get a single point of contact through the install, and the system is handed over generating, with the monitoring app on your phone and warranty documents in your hand. It’s the process refined across 1,000+ projects since 2021 and the reason our customers rate us 4.9★ across 100+ reviews.
Run this five-minute checklist before you call anyone or use the Load Calculator.
For many 5-10KW homes the monthly instalment is lower than the bill it replaces and the instalment ends, while bills never do. As one of Meezan Bank’s Top-3 approved solar vendors, Shariah-compliant Islamic financing is available with straightforward documentation, alongside conventional bank options.
Everything: Tier-1 panels, inverter, galvanised structure, protections, cabling, installation, net-metering processing, monitoring app and warranties one BOQ, no hidden extras.
Most Pakistani homes land between 5KW and 10KW. Divide your monthly units by 30, then by 4-5, and you have your KW figure or use the Load Calculator.
It depends on on-grid vs hybrid and inverter brand current rates are on the price hub. Per-watt rates move with the dollar, so check the quote date.
Yes on-grid and hybrid packages include the complete DISCO application, bi-directional meter processing and inspection liaison as standard.
7-15 days from booking to a commissioned, generating system. Net-metering approval continues in parallel through your DISCO.
In daytime, yes an inverter AC drawing 1.2-1.8KW fits within 3KW generation, but it leaves little headroom for the rest of the house. Families that run AC daily are better served at 5KW.
On-grid if your area has stable supply (lowest cost, fastest payback); hybrid if load-shedding is part of your week. The battery adds cost but buys backup and evening self-consumption.
Yes 15KW to 1MW for offices, schools, factories and farms, each designed against your measured load profile and sanctioned-load position rather than a standard kit.
25-30 year panel performance, 10-12 year panel product, 5-10 year inverter (brand-dependent), battery warranty per chemistry, plus our workmanship cover all serviceable in Pakistan.
Yes financing options include Islamic financing through Meezan Bank, where Zynergy is one of the Top-3 approved solar vendors. The EMI is often lower than the bill the system replaces.
One free survey, one itemised BOQ, one team from survey to switch-on installed in 7-15 days with net metering handled.
