What a complete solar system includes
When someone asks for the price of a 5 kW system, they usually expect everything to be included. Quotes do not always match that expectation. A complete system has these parts, and a good quote lists each one.
- Solar panels, with brand, model and wattage stated.
- Inverter, on-grid or hybrid, with brand, model and size.
- Batteries, if you want backup, with capacity and type.
- Mounting structure, with material and finish named.
- DC and AC cables, breakers and surge protection.
- Earthing, installation labour and commissioning.
- Warranty papers for each major part.
If any of these is missing from a quote, ask whether it is included or whether it will be an extra charge later.

How to size a system from your electricity bill
This is the method we use for a first estimate. A site visit refines it.
- 1
Find your monthly units
Look at the units consumed on your last few K-Electric bills. Summer bills are usually the highest, so look at those too.
- 2
Work out daily units
Divide the monthly units by 30. A home using 600 units a month uses about 20 units a day.
- 3
Estimate daily output per kW
A commonly used planning figure in Pakistan is about 4 to 5 units per kW of panels per day. Actual output depends on shading, tilt, dust and season.
- 4
Divide and check the roof
At 4 to 5 units per kW, 20 units a day points to roughly 4 to 5 kW of panels. Then check that your roof has the space, and that the system stays within your sanctioned load.
On-grid or hybrid: choosing the type
On-grid systems cost less and suit homes and shops with short outages or mostly daytime use. They save money on the bill but switch off when the grid fails.
Hybrid systems add a battery and a hybrid inverter. They cost more, and they keep your essential loads running during load-shedding. Many Karachi homes choose a hybrid system for this reason.
There is also a rules point. Under the net billing rules introduced in 2026, the system size is tied to your sanctioned load, and exported power earns a low rate. That pushes buyers toward systems sized for their own use. The net billing page explains the details.
Beware of quotes that skip the details
A very low system price often means smaller panels than stated, lower-grade cable, a thin mounting structure, or a missing warranty. Ask for the model of every major part and the warranty terms in writing. We put every item on our quotes so you can compare line by line.

Divide your monthly units by 30 to get daily use, then divide by about 4 to 5 units per kW per day. A home using 20 units a day usually needs around 4 to 5 kW. A site survey confirms it.
It depends on system size, roof access and approvals. We confirm the schedule in your quote.
Often yes. Choose an inverter that allows more panels and tell us your plan now, so we leave room in the design.
Only if you want power during outages. Without a battery, an on-grid system saves on bills but stops when the grid does.
