Solar energy has become an increasingly affordable solution for managing power needs in Pakistan, with recent price reductions in solar batteries drawing significant attention. Both lithium and tubular solar battery prices have seen substantial drops, providing consumers with additional savings.
Latest Solar Battery Prices in Pakistan
- Lithium Batteries: Prices have fallen by 20%, with units that previously cost Rs400,000 now available for Rs380,000.
- Tubular Batteries: Prices have dropped from Rs70,000 to Rs55,000, offering buyers savings of up to Rs5,000.
These reductions are attributed to declining inflation and effective government policies. The cost per watt of solar energy has reached a record low of Rs28, making solar systems more accessible for households and businesses. Suppliers predict further price declines in the coming months.
Solar Market Growth in Pakistan
Federal Minister Owais Laghari revealed that Pakistan imported 8,000 megawatts of solar panels in the last fiscal year—equivalent to 30–35% of the output of the world’s largest Three Gorges Dam (22,000 MW). Rising demand has encouraged companies to consider local manufacturing of solar inverters, reducing import reliance and saving foreign exchange.
For those considering renewable energy, now is an ideal time to invest in solar systems.
