DHA Lahore stretches across nine phases and houses some of the city’s highest electricity consumers. Monthly bills of PKR 60,000-200,000 are standard for 1-2 kanal homes in Phase V, VI, and the newer phases. Lahore’s extreme summers push AC loads to 15-25kW during peak hours. Solar handles this demand directly.
DHA Lahore homes are predominantly 10 and 20 marla to 1-2 kanal plots with flat concrete roofs. Most have large unobstructed rooftop areas. A 1-kanal house typically offers 2,000-2,500 sq ft of usable roof space, enough for a 20-25kW system with room to spare.
Lahore receives 5.0-5.3 peak sun hours daily. Summer months push temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius, which reduces panel efficiency through thermal derating. We account for this in every system design to ensure realistic output projections. N-type TOPCon panels, which we use as standard, handle high temperatures better than older PERC technology.
• 10-marla house: 10-12kW hybrid system
• 1-kanal house: 15-20kW hybrid system
• 2-kanal house: 20-30kW hybrid system
Hybrid systems dominate DHA Lahore installations. LESCO outages are frequent during summer, and a battery bank keeps inverter ACs running through load-shedding without the noise and fuel cost of a generator. For larger homes, we design multi-inverter configurations that provide redundancy and load balancing.
A 20kW system in DHA Lahore generates approximately 2,200-2,600 units per month. At LESCO slab rates, monthly savings range from PKR 70,000-110,000. Payback period is 3-4 years for most installations. With net metering, surplus winter generation carries forward as credit against summer bills.
Solar Citizen has completed installations across DHA Phase V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX. Our Lahore engineering team is experienced with DHA’s building regulations and LESCO’s net metering process. Every system comes with SOL AI, which tracks your generation, consumption, and grid export in real time.
From design to commissioning, we manage every step. Our local Lahore office ensures fast response times for maintenance requests and system checks. We also offer extended warranty packages and annual system audits to maintain peak performance.
