≈ 500 units/month · ~17 units/day
We use local sun-hours data to estimate your generation.
Lahore gets ~5.5 sun-hours/day → expect ~132 units/month per kW installed.
Pick the goal that matches your situation.
Most homes pick 4–6 hours to cover evening peak. Choose 0h for grid-tied operation without battery.
Standard panels today are 580–610W. Leave at 585W unless your installer specifies otherwise.
Multan sits in Punjab and is served by MEPCO. With 5.8 peak sun hours per day, a typical 10 kW rooftop system here generates around 1392 kWh per month after standard inverter, wiring, and dust losses are accounted for. That's enough to wipe out the daytime electricity use of a mid-sized Multan home.
Since February 2026, all new solar connections in Pakistan — including MEPCO — fall under NEPRA's net billing framework instead of the old net metering regime. That means exported units now earn Rs 8–11 per unit instead of the old Rs 25.32. The economics still work, but the right system in Multan is one sized to your daytime consumption, not your total monthly units. Run AC, appliances, and water pumps during solar hours and you save the full retail tariff on every kWh you self-consume.
