Engr Ahsan Solar designs and installs solar systems for houses, offices, schools and shops across Islamabad, including the sectors, DHA Islamabad and Bahria Town. Every system starts from your electricity bill and your roof, not from a fixed package.
What Islamabad homes usually need
- Hybrid systems with battery backup. Most Islamabad homeowners want fans, lights, the fridge, internet and water pumps to keep running during outages, which a battery provides. Choose lithium (LiFePO4) or sodium-ion.
- On-grid systems for the lowest cost per unit, where outages are rare or a generator already covers them.
- Elevated structures on flat roofs, so the roof stays usable and the panels clear water tanks and parapets.
Solar output in Islamabad
Islamabad gets roughly 5 peak sun hours a day averaged over the year: more in spring and summer, less on short winter days and cloudy monsoon days. As a rule of thumb, each 1 kW of well-installed panels produces around 115 to 120 units a month on average. That means a 10 kW system covers roughly 1,150 to 1,200 units a month across the year. Check your own numbers with the sizing tool.
How we work
- Bill review. Send your last bill, or better, the 12-month unit history printed on it.
- Free estimate. Use the cost estimator or let us prepare one.
- Site assessment. We check roof space and strength, shading, cable routes, the distribution board and earthing.
- Formal quotation. Itemised equipment, warranty terms and a payment schedule.
- Installation and commissioning, including protection devices, earthing and a handover walkthrough.
Grid connection and net metering
Islamabad is served by IESCO. To export surplus power you need an approved net-metering or net-billing connection. The rules and export rates have changed over time, so we confirm the current terms with you before you rely on export income.
Frequently asked questions
How much does solar cost in Islamabad?
The cost depends on system size, equipment brands, battery capacity and roof structure. Get an itemised indicative price in PKR from the solar cost estimator. We confirm it after a site visit.
What size solar system does an Islamabad house need?
Divide your monthly units by about 117. For example, 700 units a month needs roughly a 6 kW system. Use your summer bills if you run air conditioners.
Do you install in DHA and Bahria Town Islamabad?
Yes. Housing societies can have their own rules for rooftop systems, so we check them before installation. See solar in DHA and Bahria Town.
Can a hybrid system run an air conditioner during load-shedding?
Yes, if the inverter, battery and wiring are sized for it. An inverter AC on a 1.5 ton unit draws about 1.2 to 1.5 kW while running. Model it in the battery backup calculator before deciding.
