Availability in Pakistan
Canadian Solar has moderate availability through major distributors in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Not as deeply distributed as Jinko or LONGi. Lead times of 2-4 weeks are common for large orders during peak season. The grey market for Canadian Solar is active, driven by premium pricing creating incentive for unauthorized imports. Purchasing through verified authorized distributors is critical.
