Pakistan's electricity bills soar solar panel installation surges
Sep 27, 2024Recently, many solar panels have appeared on the roofs of residents in many cities in Pakistan.It is understood that an important reason why Pakistani residents choose solar energy is that the country's electricity bills have risen sharply.
In 2024, the average monthly electricity bill for Pakistani households will be $350, compared with $100 a year ago. In addition, power outages often occur during peak hours of electricity consumption, which also brings troubles to residents' lives. The cost of installing home solar panels is about more than three thousand dollars, so many residents decided to switch to solar energy.
In a residential area in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, solar panels are installed on the roofs of almost every household. Many residents said that one of the main reasons for installing solar panels is that insufficient power supply will cause power outages, and even if there is no power outage, the electricity bill is too high to bear. Installing solar panels can save a lifetime of electricity bills with a one-time investment.
