Lahore solar estimate at a glance
This shared model uses 5.3 peak-sun hours per day, a 75% performance ratio, 55% direct self-consumption, Rs. 60/unit retail value, and Rs. 8.13/unit export credit. These are illustrative assumptions, not an official flat LESCO tariff. Enter the actual units from your bill, then ask your installer to recalculate savings using your agreement rates and measured daytime load.

Local sizing notes
What changes in Lahore
The 5.3 peak-sun-hour value is a calculator planning default. For a Lahore roof, compare a full year of production with a full year of bills: summer air-conditioning and winter haze can change the balance between direct use and exports. A summer bill alone can lead to a system that has surplus generation during quieter months.
Dust, water-tank shade, mumty shade, and neighboring walls can reduce real output, so ask installers for a shade map and string layout instead of accepting only a headline kW size.

Area names are examples for survey planning. Verify the actual electricity supplier on your own bill.
Net billing
LESCO savings logic
For LESCO net billing, compare self-consumed units and exported units separately. The fastest payback usually comes from running ACs, pumps, laundry, and office loads during solar hours.
The calculator separates direct savings from export credit because imported units and exported units have different cash values. This is why two Lahore homes with the same kW size can have different payback.
Site survey
Evidence to request for a Lahore roof
Use your own bill, roof photographs and operating schedule to turn these local checks into a written design. Ask for the evidence behind each proposal before comparing total prices.
Winter shade around the mumty
A clear roof at noon in June may have shaded panel rows in December. Ask for a dated shade drawing showing the tank, mumty and neighboring parapets, plus the affected strings; do not accept roof area alone as proof of usable panel space.
Match the summer AC schedule to solar hours
Record when each AC normally runs and compare that schedule with the proposed monthly production chart. Keep late-evening cooling separate from daytime cooling when evaluating a battery; the monthly unit total does not show the energy available for direct use.
A comparison to make before you buy
For a Johar Town household whose cooling starts after work, compare two quotes at the same panel size: on-grid with exports, and hybrid with a stated usable battery capacity. Ask both to show December and June imports, exports and direct use. This is a comparison exercise; the tables above are modelled scenarios, not a monitored Johar Town installation.
Quote checklist
Before you sign a Lahore solar quote
Keep every installer on the same scope. Otherwise a cheaper quote may simply be missing protection gear, stronger mounting, monitoring, battery wiring, or LESCO paperwork.
1
Confirm the LESCO filing scope, fees, drawings, testing, inspection, and bidirectional meter timeline.
2
Ask for panel brand, exact model, wattage, serial verification, product warranty, and performance warranty.
3
Require inverter make, model, warranty channel, monitoring access, surge protection, earthing, and breaker details.
4
Separate panels, inverter, mounting, protection gear, battery, labor, and net-billing filing into line items.
5
Ask Lahore installers to itemize panels, inverter model, DC/AC protection, earthing, mounting gauge, monitoring, and LESCO filing charges on separate quote lines.
FAQ
Lahore solar calculator questions
Answers to local planning questions before you request a quote.
Should a Lahore system be sized only from a summer bill?
Use a full year of units and an AC operating schedule. Winter demand and sunlight change the balance, so request monthly generation and direct-use estimates rather than scaling from one high bill.
Are Lahore's 5.3 peak-sun hours guaranteed?
This is a planning default, not a measured roof yield or a daily guarantee. Check orientation, shade, cleaning and seasonal output during the site survey.
Official sources
Verify the application and generation assumptions
Use the original utility sources for application rules, fees and approval steps. The sun-hours and price bands on this page are this site's planning assumptions; they are not an official tariff or a measured local yield dataset.
LESCO official net-billing portal
PITC lists LESCO among its supported utilities and links applications, tracking, NEPRA regulations, contact information and transformer checks. Read the current notices before a new application or capacity change.
Check monthly yield in Global Solar Atlas
Select your roof's location and compare monthly PVOUT for the proposed orientation and tilt. The Atlas model excludes building and vegetation shade, so a local shade survey is still needed. Its kWh/kWp yield is a different quantity from this calculator's peak-sun-hour input.
