Pakistan Solar Power: News & Updates

The solar cat is out of the bag, despite the efforts of the corrupt anti-common-man government. Pakistanis are quite resourceful and now that a market for solar panels and equipment can clearly be seen, I expect many people in workshops and "karkhanay" city clusters to begin building these solar panels and related equipment domestically. Anyone remember the satellite dish phenom in Pakistan in the 90's ? They were all imported initially and then domestic producers sprang up overnight to meet the huge demand. The solar panels demand is 50x that.

When I visited Pakistan last year, I saw that all ... I was very happy to see this happen, but this will literally bankrupt the government. With the 18th Amendment, the federal government is at the mercy of the provinces. It seems that Pakistan is not one country but 4-5 countries living in order. Heartbreaking to see the country continue to slide into chaos and disorder every year. While the elite enjoy, the common man suffers, and nothing changes. All policies are made for the elite. Somehow, this slipped through the elite's fingers intentionally, as they want to benefit from it by installing solar for their factories and homes. However, the common middle-class person somehow used the opportunity to make the most of it. Still, the lower 40% are not able to get the benefit, hence suffer further. I know some people who have totally shut off the grid and just rely on batteries and solar panels. They do suffer at times, but 98% of the time they have power, literally free after the RoI duration completes. Outside Karachi, in various villages, they were able to install solar panels that can deliver power throughout the day, and, using low-cost batteries, they can run the power at night [but limited]. Not every villager can afford this arrangement. Hence this remains sketchy in rural sindh.

sir in south punjab people who graze goat herd have a solar panel on their shoulder with a small fan. They use while staying under the roof. here people are adapting very well. start from single solar plate and then add one by one according their savings . they are using typical committe system or selling some animals or something like gold to be independent from wapda . Solar plates are every where. Those who cant afford ac's are using solar air cooler . if they cant get new batteries they are buying second hand . i mean people are too frustrated and dnt want to touch wapda unless its emergency .its happening now .

i agree . they signed some exoensive agrements and thought that we have a huge market and people need energy at every cost and they did mot spend a single coin. they uses chinese loans to get their own benefits. Chinese loans owned by Pakistan in simole words on behalf of People of Paksitan. they will get their share without any worry just like leeches
 
Even with hybrid solar inverter and lithium cell based batteries have changed the game all over from common house needs to medium size industrial units ......all are catching up fast .....but as always Govt is creating hurdles......pathetic
 
We will remain slaves of our own rulers .... no solution .....no ray of light at the end of the every passing day
