In both commercial and domestic usage, an increasing number of Pakistan’s
population is shifting from electric power to solar energy. The reasons are rising
electricity bills and persistent load shedding. However, selecting the right solar
panel is a critical move. Pakistan’s diverse climate zones, ranging from the
extreme heat of Punjab to the humid environment of Karachi directly affect solar
panels performance. Moreover, high temperatures across many regions reduces
system efficiency, when temperatures rise above 25°C. Therefore, choosing solar
modules that are designed to perform well under Pakistan’s climatic conditions is
essential for long term efficiency.Among the available options, LONGi Solar panels are known for their well
performance in hot weather conditions, making them highly suitable for rooftop
installations. These panels are famous for their high efficiency, durability and
reliable warranties in the solar industry. Due to their ability to generate maximum
power within limited space, LONGi panels are a best choice for residential
properties and commercial buildings, especially in densely populated urban
areas. Their price typically ranges between PKR 30 to 38 per watt. Additionally,
LONGi has introduced monocrystalline technology for the first time in Pakistan.
Similarly, Jinko offers good value per watt and is preferred by budget conscious
buyers. With prices ranging from PKR 31 to 39 per watt, Jinko panels maintain a
balance between affordability and efficiency. These panels are suitable for both
residential and commercial sectors. It features the latest N-Type technology. As a
result, Jinko has become one of the most widely installed solar panel brands
across Pakistan. In addition, Canadian Solar panels are known for their long term
performance and durable structure. They are priced between PKR 27 to 39 per
watt. They are prioritized by long term investors who view solar energy as an
asset.
From a regional perspective, LONGi panels are performing particularly well in
major cities such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Meanwhile, Jinko panels
are extensively used across Pakistan and are also available in smaller cities.
Canadian Solar, on the other hand, has a more selective audience, primarily
targeting larger cities through authorized distributors.
In practical terms, each of these brands creates their own user profile. LONGi
panels are ideal for locations with limited roof space, Jinko panels are designed
for those who are looking for efficient performance at competitive prices, while
Canadian Solar panels are best for long term investors. To conclude, despitethese differences, all three brands are in high demand in both residential and
commercial sectors of Pakistan.
