On-Grid Solar Systems – Urban Energy Pakistan

About Urban Energy Pakistan Urban Energy Pakistan is driving the clean energy revolution in the country. Built on a mission to make solar energy accessible, affordable, and reliable, we have empowered thousands of homes and businesses to harness the sun’s power.

We specialize in:

  • On-grid rooftop solar system installations for residential and commercial properties

  • End-to-end support, from consultation to installation and after-sales service

  • Flexible EMI and zero-cost financing options

  • Heavy-duty, cyclone-resistant prefabricated mounting structures

We believe in building a long-lasting legacy of service and sustainability—our systems are built to last 25+ years.


What Is an On-Grid Solar System?

An on-grid solar system (also known as a grid-tied solar system) is directly connected to the national electric grid (WAPDA/KE/etc). It produces electricity during the day and uses net metering to send excess energy back to the grid, earning credits which you can redeem during the night.

Urban Energy installs high-performance on-grid solar systems in cities and societies across Pakistan.


Components of an On-Grid Solar System

  1. Solar Panels – Convert sunlight into DC electricity

  2. Inverter – Converts DC into usable AC electricity

  3. Mounting Structures – Supports panels; resistant to high winds

  4. Bi-directional Net Meter – Tracks units sent to and drawn from the grid

  5. Solar Accessories – Cables, combiner boxes, connectors, earthing system


How Does an On-Grid System Work?

  1. Sunlight hits the solar panels, generating DC electricity

  2. The inverter converts DC to AC electricity

  3. AC electricity powers your home’s appliances

  4. Excess energy is exported to the grid through a bi-directional meter

  5. At night or during low sunlight, you draw energy from the grid

This give-and-take is called Net Metering.

Net Metering Benefits

  • Export unused energy to the grid during the day

  • Import energy at night or during cloudy days

  • Reduce monthly bills significantly

  • Credit rollover for future months


On-Grid Solar System Prices in Pakistan (Without Subsidy)

System SizeEstimated Cost (PKR)
2 kW350,000 – 450,000
3 kW480,000 – 600,000

ROI (Return on Investment)

A typical on-grid solar system in Pakistan breaks even in 3 to 5 years, depending on electricity rates and sunlight availability. After that, you enjoy free electricity for 20+ years, resulting in savings of PKR 1.5 to 2 million or more over the system’s lifespan.


Government Subsidy for On-Grid Solar

Currently, subsidies are offered only for residential installations. Urban Energy helps you with the full subsidy application process.

System SizeSubsidy (PKR)
1 kW30,000
2 kW60,000
3 kW78,000
Above 3 kW78,000 (maximum)
