A hybrid solar system combines solar panels, a hybrid inverter and a battery so you get the best of both worlds: lower electricity bills and backup power during load shedding. It is the most popular configuration for homes and small businesses in Lahore, where an uninterrupted supply matters as much as the saving.
How a hybrid system works
During the day, solar powers your loads and charges the battery; any surplus can be exported to the grid. When the grid fails, the hybrid inverter switches seamlessly to battery power so your lights, fans, refrigerator, internet and selected air conditioners keep running. When the sun returns, the cycle repeats — savings by day, security by night.
Lithium vs tubular batteries
Lithium (LiFePO4)
Longer cycle life, higher usable depth of discharge, compact and maintenance-free. The preferred choice for most new hybrid systems.
Tubular / lead-acid
A lower upfront cost with proven reliability, suited to budget-conscious backup where space and maintenance are less of a concern.
What's included
- Solar panels sized to your load and charging needs
- Hybrid inverter with automatic grid/battery switching
- Lithium or tubular battery bank sized to your backup requirement
- Mounting, DC/AC protection, surge protection and earthing
- Net-metering coordination where you want to export surplus
- App-based monitoring of solar, battery and grid
Sizing your backup
We start with the appliances you must keep running and for how long, then size the battery and inverter to match — no paying for storage you will not use. During the survey we confirm the panel count, inverter rating and battery capacity for your home or shop.
Net metering & net billing in Pakistan (2026)
Under NEPRA's Prosumer Regulations 2026, new grid-tied applicants are placed on a net-billing arrangement: the units your system exports to the grid are purchased at a notified buy-back rate, while the units you import are billed at your normal tariff. Existing net-metering agreements generally remain valid on their original terms until they expire. DISCO approval typically takes around 2.5–3.5 months after installation, and connections up to 1 MW on a three-phase supply are eligible to apply. We prepare the single-line diagram, equipment datasheets and application paperwork and coordinate with your DISCO (LESCO in most of Lahore) on your behalf.
