5kW solar system price
A 5kW 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: 8 × Astronergy 625W N-Type Bifacial Panel at Rs 27,188 each comes to Rs 217,504 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 5kW solar system produce?
In Lahore, a 5kW system produces about 19.9 units a day on average, or around 610 units a month. Output is highest in May (about 800 units) and lowest in December (about 400 units). Shading, dust and panel direction change these numbers.
How many solar panels are needed for a 5kW system?
With 625W panels you need 8 panels, giving 5.00 kW. With smaller panels you need more of them.
What is the load capacity of a 5kW solar system?
On a sunny day a 5kW system can typically run: all fans, lights, fridge and tv; one 1.5-ton inverter ac; water pump, washing machine and iron. Peak output is lower than 5kW in practice because of heat and losses, and after sunset you need the grid or batteries.
What is the 5kW 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 8 panels alone cost about Rs 217,504. 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 5kW system need?
Roughly 300 square feet of shade-free roof, including walking space between rows. An elevated structure lets you keep using the roof underneath.
Is a 5kW 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.
