[2] As electricity prices doubled from 2021 to 2024, Pakistanis have taken to installing solar panels around the country, importing $1.4 billion of panels from China in the first half of 2024. [3]
Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park is located in the desert area of Lal Sohanra, Cholistan, Bahawalpur, and is situated around 10 km from Bahawalpur airport. It is the largest solar plant in Pakistan. It produces 100 MW, spans 500 acres (200 ha), and hosts 392,158 solar modules.
The cost of a solar PV module make up the largest part of the total investment costs. As per the recent analysis of Solar Power Generation Costs in Japan 2021, module unit prices fell sharply. In 2018, the average price was close to 60,000 yen/kW, but by 2021 it is estimated at 30,000 yen/kW, so cost is reduced by almost half.
Around 10.57% of Pakistan’s total installed power generation capacity (in 2020) comes renewables (wind, solar and biogas). [1] Most of Pakistan's renewable energy comes from hydroelectricity . As per the vision of the Prime Minister, there is the aim to “induct 20% of RE by the year 2025 and 30% of RE by the year 2030.” [ 2 ]
Solar panels are also known as solar cell panels, solar electric panels, or PV modules. Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called arrays or systems .
