Load-shedding is still a daily reality across much of Pakistan, and it is the number one reason families ask us about solar. The good news: a solar-plus-storage system can keep your home running smoothly whether the grid is up or down.

How it works

During the day, your panels power your home directly and charge a battery at the same time. When the grid fails — or after sunset — your home automatically switches to the stored energy in the battery. The transition is seamless, so your fans, lights, TV and internet keep running without interruption.

What can it run?

The right system size depends on what you want to back up. A modest battery comfortably runs essentials such as lights, fans, a refrigerator, routers and phone charging through a typical outage. Larger systems can also support air conditioners and water pumps. We size every system around your actual load so you are never paying for capacity you do not need.

  • Essentials backup: lights, fans, fridge, WiFi, phone charging.
  • Comfort backup: add a fan-heavy load and an inverter AC.
  • Whole-home backup: multiple ACs, pumps and heavy appliances with a larger battery bank.

With storage, the energy your panels make at noon can keep your home comfortable at midnight.

Lithium leads the way

Most new installations use lithium (LiFePO4) batteries because they last far longer, charge faster and need no maintenance compared with traditional batteries. They cost more upfront but deliver more usable energy over their life, which makes them the better value for daily backup.
