Types of solar power system in Lahore
- On-grid: the lowest cost per kW. It feeds your daytime power into the LESCO network and cuts your bill while the grid is on. It has no backup when the grid fails.
- Hybrid: on-grid plus a battery and hybrid inverter. It keeps essential loads running during load-shedding and can store surplus power for the evening.
- Off-grid: a stand-alone system with battery storage, for sites with no reliable grid connection.
How to size a solar power system for your home or business
Start from your last 12 monthly bills and the appliances you run during the day, such as air conditioners, water pumps and workshop machinery. A well-sized system matches your daytime use. Oversizing adds cost, and under NEPRA rules the installed capacity must not exceed the sanctioned load on your LESCO connection.
Every SNM project starts with a free site survey: roof direction, shading, structure and the load audit. The design and the quote follow from those measurements, not from a fixed template.

LESCO net metering and net billing
Systems connected to the LESCO network are covered by the NEPRA Prosumer Regulations 2026. Applications made after 9 February 2026 fall under net billing. Exported units are credited at a much lower rate than the rate you pay for units you use yourself, so the system is designed around self-consumption. SNM handles the full application with LESCO, from the sanctioned-load check to the final connection.
What the installation involves
- Free survey and load audit at your address
- Custom system design sized to your bill and your sanctioned load
- Itemised quotation with no hidden costs
- Installation by SNM engineers
- LESCO net-metering or net-billing application filed and followed up
- Monitoring and after-sales support

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a solar power system cost in Lahore?
Indicative installed prices run from PKR 300,000 for a 3 kW on-grid system to PKR 2,850,000 for an 18 kW hybrid system with 16 kWh of lithium storage. The table above lists the main sizes. Your exact price depends on panel and inverter brand, battery capacity and the site. Request a quote for an itemised figure.
Which solar power system size do I need in Lahore?
Size the system from your monthly electricity bill and the daytime load you actually run. Our site survey and load audit confirm the figure. Under NEPRA rules the installed capacity must not exceed your sanctioned load, so that limit is checked before design.
Do I need a battery with my solar power system?
Not always. An on-grid system saves the most money for the lowest cost, but it switches off during load-shedding. A hybrid system with a battery keeps essential loads running through outages. An off-grid system is for sites with no reliable grid connection.
Does net metering still work in Lahore?
Yes, with changes. Applications made after 9 February 2026 fall under net billing, where exported units are paid at a much lower rate than the units you use yourself. Systems are therefore sized mainly to cover your own daytime consumption.
What warranty do you give on the battery?
SNM Solutions gives a 5-year warranty on lithium battery items. Panel and inverter warranties follow the brand you choose, and we give you the warranty papers in writing.
