Pakistan's first appliance-based solar planner that works backwards from your actual load — not a generic "pick your system size" tool. Enter your real appliances, set your city's sun hours, and the calculator derives exactly what inverter, panel count and battery capacity you need.
The most common and costly mistake in Pakistan: choosing system size based on budget alone. An undersized 3kW system for a 600-unit/month home leaves Rs. 15,000+/month in bills unpaid. An oversized system wastes Rs. 1–3 Lac on excess generation that earns only avoided-cost export credits. This planner finds the financially optimal size for your specific consumption.
Add your appliances
Tap the icons — LED Bulb, Ceiling Fan, 1T AC, Fridge etc. Mark ACs and lights as "Critical" if you want battery backup for them.
Set your city's peak sun hours
Tap the city chip (Lahore 5.0, Karachi 6.0, Islamabad 4.5, Multan 5.5, Quetta 7.0) or enter your city's hours manually.
Set backup hours
How many hours of load-shedding do you face at night? 8 hours is typical for most Pakistan cities. This determines battery capacity.
Click "Calculate System Size"
The planner shows your PV size, inverter kW, panel count and battery kWh — and auto-filters the comparison tables below.
Select your inverter, panels and battery
Click "Select" on the models that fit your budget. The Summary step shows your total installed cost.
WhatsApp your plan for a quote
Send your selected system to get competitive quotes from AEDB-registered installers in your city.
Use this reference alongside the inverter comparison table above. The planner shows prices — this explains what each brand is best for.
Sub-20ms switching + generator input + SEMS monitoring + Pylontech 48V support. Best balance of features, service (12+ cities) and price. Recommended for most Pakistani buyers.
98% efficiency + sub-20ms + 10-year standard warranty. ⚠️ No generator input. HV battery only (Pylontech US5000 NOT compatible). Best for DHA/Clifton/F-sectors with minimal load-shedding.
European build quality + sub-20ms + generator input + 10-year standard warranty. Most expensive option. Limited Pakistan service outside Lahore/Karachi. Best for unlimited-budget city buyers.
Cheapest hybrid with generator input. ~30ms switching. Good Pylontech 48V support. Best for budget-conscious major city buyers who need generator input but can't stretch to GoodWe.
IP65 outdoor-safe, good Pylontech support, ShinePhone monitoring. ⚠️ No generator input. ~30ms switching. Best for major city buyers who don't need generator and want IP65 rating.
Pakistan-assembled. Generator input. Nationwide service (every city & town). ⚠️ IP20 indoor only — cannot install outdoors. Best for secondary cities and rural areas where imported brand service is slow.
