How long do home solar panels last?
Most solar panels last between 25-30 years, and they continue to produce energy at a reduced efficiency even after that.
Can I install solar panels on a flat roof?
Yes! With the right mounting system, solar panels can be installed on a flat roof.
Will solar panels work during a power outage?
Only if you have a battery backup or a hybrid system. Grid-tied systems stop working during power outages to protect utility workers.
How much does it cost to install solar panels at home?
The cost typically ranges between PKR 150,000 to PKR 250,000 per kilowatt (kW), depending on the quality of equipment and type of system (on-grid, off-grid, or hybrid). For a standard 5kW system, you can expect to invest around PKR 750,000 to PKR 1,250,000 before any government incentives.
Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?
Not at all. Solar panels are low-maintenance. A light cleaning 2–4 times a year is usually enough to keep them running efficiently. Just make sure they’re free from dust, leaves, or bird droppings.
