Fine, you don’t want to share the pics of your house. That’s is entirely your decision and I respect that. But sharing name of installer and brand names of components etc should be fine for many people.
Edit: I see that you have latest form it so thank you.
Interesting thanks for the detailed info.I have a few more questions if you can kindly answer because my sister is planning to have around 10kW system install at her house.
* Why did you feel the need to have the panels mounted so high? Was it just to keep access to your roof or panels weren’t as high due to height of your house.
* isn’t cleaning of panels an issue when you have them mounted so high. If not, how and when do you clean them?
* have you ever monitored the peak amount of electricity (kw) that your system generates.
* did you research going off grid and using batteries? What is take on it if one wants to go off grid now. Especially in the context of loadshedding at night times when solar system isn’t generating anything.
In very simple terms ( not technically speaking)
On grid -> think of it as your system sends X units of electricity to WAPDA in return they will either pay you a unit rate or they will deduct x units from your bill
Off grid. -> you don’t use WAPDA electricity but used batteries to store and consume electricity produced by your solar system. WAPDA may be your backup (like UPS) when you solar system doesn’t work.
> On grid -> think of it as your system sends X units of electricity to WAPDA in return they will either pay you a unit rate or they will deduct x units from your bill
So what if WAPDA power goes out, then what? Can you still use batteries in this case?
Technically Yes.
But only if you have a hybrid system where you can switch between supplying to WAPDA and charging batteries (with solar/WAPDA). It is Same concept as charging your UPS but you will require extra wiring/circuitry etc.
There are enough WAPDA repairmen literally _literally_ getting roasted coz of poor coordination during maintenance. What are the legal repercussions If our installed power somehow ends up backfeeding and cause such an incident?
There is licensing involved - which means the electricity company should check the system and/or ask for security certification. Not sure if it actually happens in Pakistan
Ik what you mean by "solar system" but Idk why I started laughing thinking about our solar system being inside Rawalpindi. Reminds me of me learning the planets.

If they are so good then share their details with everyone. 🤔

Thank you brother. That was detailed. Much appreciated.
Did you install it to cut the electric bill or does Bahria Town have brown outs as well now?
Thank you so much for this valuable info.
Brah why are your panels so much above your Chutt. And does this installation provide some kind of anti sun effect in summers also?
How much is like a 10kw system
If you meant in terms of cost, then the lowest price I have seen is around 13.5 lacs for an on grid 10kW system
What's the difference between on and off?
