The Future of Solar Pricing: Trends and Projections

27 December 2024 | 2 min read

Solar energy is fast catching up with the rest of the world as more and more people are enticed with the concept of renewable and clean energy. Now that the environment can’t take any more pollution, it’s high time that developing countries like Pakistan start turning away from fossil fuels and look into something cleaner and more permanent that isn’t on the verge of running out. Solar energy is one such alternative that has both the positives of being clean and renewable: in no part of the process is solar energy damaging to the environment. In this blog post, we will look at the future of solar pricing, the trends that govern the current skyline, and the projections that analysts and experts have made as we pass over to 2025.

As solar energy becomes more and more prevalent in the country, a lot of companies and equipment suppliers have popped up, naturally. However, the potential for solar energy systems in Pakistan is far-reaching and goes beyond that: Pakistan, being a temperate country and receiving an above-average level of sunlight, means that the solar energy potential could be such that the growing needs could be catered to just solar energy alone.

But before we discuss and delve deeper into the future of solar pricing, we need to first understand what Pakistan holds in terms of the future of solar and solar energy solutions. Once we know and understand the future of solar energy systems themselves, we can then easily predict pricing and its projections and what both consumers and companies can look forward to. Let’s start by understanding what the future of solar energy systems in Pakistan is.

The future of solar energy systems in Pakistan

As 2025 inches ever so closer, Pakistan is catalysing the growth of solar energy in Pakistan: official government directives have made it clear that all public buildings and installations need to be connected to a solar energy system within the next decade, and work on that has already begun. Considering that in the segment of clean and renewable energy, solar currently stands as the only viable option, Pakistan is very conducive towards the idea of clean and green energy and is working towards it despite the challenges and economic barriers posed by it.

Residential solar power systems have also grown a lot; the popularity and demand for solar energy systems in Pakistan have skyrocketed. Households across Pakistan, especially concentrated within the urban metropolitans of Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi, have seen a rise in solar energy systems installed on households' rooftops. This further underlines the efforts that solar energy companies in Pakistan are making to ensure the widespread use of solar energy and promote independence from the grid, which in Pakistan exclusively relies on fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal.

However, the industrial front, from the perspective of solar energy in Pakistan, has yet to realise its full potential. Many companies and industries in Pakistan are still very hesitant to switch to solar, despite the proof that solar is efficient and allows for greater freedom away from the grid, which still poses transmission and breakdown problems every now and then, forcing production facilities to switch to expensive diesel generators that then drives up the prices of production.

The future of solar pricing: trends, projections

The future of solar energy and solar energy solutions in Pakistan seems sound and secure, and coupled with the unfortunate fact that grid power seems to only get more expensive and more elusive, solar energy in Pakistan seems like a winning combination. The pricing, according to the industry projections and trends, will also continue to get more accessible for people, as manufacturers ramp up production as well as research and development, and as both the national government and international stakeholders continue to further subsidise and incentivise solar energy equipment and solar solutions as the means to further pursue goals connected to preservation of the environment.

If solar energy solutions mean that our dependency on troublesome fossil fuels will be reduced, then it makes sense that greater access to solar energy solutions and equipment be pursued, which will be done by controlling its pricing and ensuring that people in a majority of income brackets get access to solar energy and solar energy solutions.
