Question 1

Why do quotes vary so much (PKR 250k to 500k for same "3kW")?

Accepted Answer

The variance comes from five main factors: (1) Battery inclusion—with batteries, cost increases PKR 100,000-150,000, (2) Brand quality—premium brands cost 25-35% more than budget brands, (3) Component specifications—585W vs. 400W panels hugely differ in cost, (4) Installation location—difficult-to-access roofs add PKR 20,000-30,000, (5) Hidden costs—permits, structural repairs, panel upgrades. Always get itemized breakdowns comparing apples-to-apples components.

Question 2

Is a 3kW system enough for my home with 350 units monthly consumption?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 3kW is designed precisely for 300-400 unit households. A 3kW system generates 300-350 units monthly on average, matching your consumption exactly. However, verify with your installer that your actual consumption pattern fits. If you run heavy appliances (two ACs, large water pump), you may struggle during cloudy months and need a 5kW system instead. Request a detailed energy audit before committing.

Question 3

Can I install a 3kW system myself to save installation costs?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended for most homeowners. While installation costs are PKR 20,000-30,000, DIY installations risk: (1) Electrical safety hazards and potential electrocution, (2) Improper grounding and surge protection (fire risk), (3) Invalid warranty—manufacturers void warranties for non-certified installation, (4) Net metering rejection if NEPRA sees improper installation, (5) Building regulation violations in many cities. Unless you're a qualified electrician, professional installation is non-negotiable. The PKR 20,000 you save isn't worth PKR 350,000+ system being damaged or causing fire.
