PESCO area - 5 peak-sun hrs/day

Solar calculator for Peshawar

Peshawar solar sizing should be conservative enough for seasonal variation while still accounting for high summer cooling and backup needs. Use this PESCO page to compare system size, generation, and payback.

Peshawar solar estimate at a glance

These planning numbers use PESCO city assumptions, 5 peak-sun hours per day, a 75% performance ratio, Rs. 60/unit retail value, and Rs. 11/unit export credit. Final quotes should still be verified by site survey.

Local sizing notes

What changes in Peshawar

Peshawar uses a 5.0 peak-sun-hour planning assumption for areas such as Hayatabad, University Town, Saddar, Gulbahar, Warsak Road, and Ring Road.

Dust, roof access, parapet shade, and security of outdoor equipment should be reviewed during the site survey.

PESCO savings logic

PESCO customers should estimate direct use and exported units separately. A battery may be justified by backup need even when pure payback favors on-grid.

The calculator separates direct savings from export credit because imported units and exported units have different cash values. This is why two Peshawar homes with the same kW size can have different payback.

Quote checklist

Before you sign a Peshawar 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 PESCO paperwork.

1

Confirm the PESCO 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 Peshawar installers about battery sizing, critical-load wiring, inverter protection, monitoring, and PESCO application handling.

FAQ

Peshawar solar calculator questions

Short answers for the searches people make before they request quotes.

Why is Peshawar's peak-sun assumption lower than Sukkur or Karachi?

This page uses 5.0 peak-sun hours for Peshawar to stay conservative across seasonal and local conditions.

Is solar still useful in Peshawar with a lower peak-sun number?

Yes. The system may need slightly more capacity for the same monthly units, but high tariffs and backup needs can still make solar attractive.
