Common Questions

Here are professional and customer-friendly FAQs for Solar Creations — covering common concerns from homeowners, businesses, and industrial clients in Pakistan:

Is solar power really worth it in Pakistan?

Yes! With over 300 sunny days a year, Pakistan is ideal for solar energy. Solar systems can reduce your electricity bills by up to 80% while offering long-term savings and energy independence.

What is net metering, and how does it benefit me?

Net metering allows you to sell excess electricity from your solar system back to the WAPDA grid. Your meter runs backward, reducing your bill — and in some cases, you may earn credit or zero-bill status.

How long does the solar installation process take?

Residential installations usually take 3–5 working days. Commercial or industrial systems may take 1–2 weeks depending on complexity and size. Net metering approval can take an additional 15–30 days.

Do solar panels work during load shedding or at night?

Solar panels generate power during the day when sunlight is available. For nighttime or load shedding, hybrid systems with batteries are recommended for backup power.

How much space do I need for a solar system?

On average, you need 100–150 sq. ft. per 1 kW system. A 5kW system typically requires around 500–700 sq. ft. of unshaded roof space.

What is the life of a solar system?

Solar panels can last over 25 years, and inverters usually last 10–12 years with proper maintenance. Regular servicing ensures high performance for decades.

Is solar suitable for factories and large businesses?

Absolutely. Industrial and commercial clients can save lakhs per month with large-scale solar solutions, enjoy rapid ROI, and reduce their carbon footprint significantly.

Do I need permission to install solar in Lahore?

Yes, especially if you want net metering. Solar Creations handles all paperwork and approvals from relevant authorities like LESCO and NEPRA — hassle-free.

Can I monitor my system performance?

Yes, our systems come with online monitoring apps that show real-time performance, savings, and alerts — all from your smartphone.
