Solar installation in Lahore

The three system types still installed today

Hybrid solar with battery. Solar runs the home by day, battery covers the night, grid is silent backup. After the February 2026 net billing change, this became the smart default for most Lahore homes and small businesses. Full hybrid page here.

On-grid solar (no battery). Cheapest setup. Solar runs daytime load directly. Surplus exports under net billing at the new lower rate. Good for offices and shops that mostly draw during daylight and do not need outage backup. On-grid details.

Off-grid solar. No grid connection at all. Larger battery bank. Used for farms, tube wells, remote sites and anyone wanting full energy independence. Off-grid details.
