3kW solar system price
A 3kW system has four main costs: the panels, the inverter, the structure and the installation (cables, breakers, earthing and labour). A hybrid system adds batteries, which is usually the biggest extra cost.
Panels: 5 × Astronergy 625W N-Type Bifacial Panel at Rs 27,188 each comes to Rs 135,940 at today’s price.
The inverter, structure and installation depend on your roof and the brands you choose, so we quote them after a free survey. See current inverter prices and battery prices.

Frequently asked questions
How many units does a 3kW solar system produce?
In Lahore, a 3kW system produces about 12.4 units a day on average, or around 380 units a month. Output is highest in May (about 500 units) and lowest in December (about 250 units). Shading, dust and panel direction change these numbers.
How many solar panels are needed for a 3kW system?
With 625W panels you need 5 panels, giving 3.13 kW. With smaller panels you need more of them.
What is the load capacity of a 3kW solar system?
On a sunny day a 3kW system can typically run: fans, led lights and a refrigerator; washing machine, iron and water pump (one at a time); a 1-ton inverter ac on sunny afternoons. Peak output is lower than 3kW in practice because of heat and losses, and after sunset you need the grid or batteries.
What is the 3kW solar system price in Pakistan?
The price depends on the panel brand, the inverter (on-grid or hybrid), batteries and the structure. At today's price the 5 panels alone cost about Rs 135,940. A complete on-grid system costs less than a hybrid one because it has no batteries. We give an itemised quote after a free site survey.
How much roof space does a 3kW system need?
Roughly 200 square feet of shade-free roof, including walking space between rows. An elevated structure lets you keep using the roof underneath.
Is a 3kW system on-grid or with battery?
Both are possible. On-grid (with net metering) gives the lowest price and fastest payback; hybrid adds batteries for load shedding. Which one suits you depends on your bills and how much backup you need.
