A solar inverter in Pakistan costs roughly Rs 70,000 for a small 1 to 2 kW unit and can pass Rs 700,000 for a 15 kW three phase hybrid. The price depends far more on type and capacity than on brand alone, and the cheapest model on paper is rarely the cheapest to own.

Every figure in this guide is an estimated market range, not a fixed rate. Prices move with the dollar, import costs and stock, so check the live price on the product page before you order.

How Much Does a Solar Inverter Cost in Pakistan?

The solar inverter price in Pakistan is set by three things: how many kilowatts it delivers, whether it is hybrid, off-grid or on-grid, and how much solar input and protection it carries. If you are still learning how inverters work, start with our complete solar inverter guide for Pakistan and come back to this page to set your budget.

Solar Inverter Price by Capacity

The table below gives estimated ranges for the sizes most Pakistani homes and shops buy.

Most buyers land in the 5 to 6 kW band, which is why the widest choice sits in our 2.5 kW to 10 kW inverter range.

Hybrid, Off-Grid and On-Grid Inverter Prices

The inverter type changes the price more than most buyers expect.

• Hybrid inverters work with panels, batteries and the grid together. They usually cost 30 to 50 per cent more than an off-grid unit of the same size.

• Off-grid inverters run on solar and batteries without exporting. They are the lowest cost way to get backup.

• On-grid inverters feed the grid directly and switch off during load shedding, so they are cheaper per kW but give no backup.

Our hybrid vs off-grid vs on-grid comparison explains which suits your area. Under NEPRA's 2026 net billing rules, new users earn much less for exported units, so using your own solar power now saves more than selling it. That makes a hybrid the stronger long-term choice for most new systems.

On a budget, a Knox Argon 5 kW off-grid inverter covers the basics, while an Inverex Veyron II 6 kW hybrid adds grid support and battery flexibility. Browse every option in the hybrid and off-grid collections.

Solar Inverter Price by Brand

Brand affects price mainly through build quality, warranty support and features.

• Primax sits at the value end with dual output models such as the Galaxy PV5000+ and Venus 6200.

• Inverex and Knox cover the mid range, from the Inverex Yukon to the Knox Krypton 8 kW and Inverex Nitrox 10 kW.

• GoodWe, Solis, SolarMax and Canadian Solar sit higher, usually with IP65 or IP66 housings for rooftop installs, such as the GoodWe ES Uniq 8 kW and Solis S6 6 kW.

What Changes the Inverter Rate in Pakistan

• PV input: a higher solar input rating lets you add panels later without replacing the inverter.

• Battery voltage: 48 V models cost more than 24 V but handle larger loads efficiently.

• Protection rating: IP65 units cost more than IP21 indoor units but survive heat, dust and rain.

• Dual output and Wi-Fi: smart load control and app monitoring add to the price.

• Dollar rate: almost all inverters are imported, so rates rise and fall with the exchange rate.

Cheap Solar Inverter: What You Give Up

A cheap solar inverter often saves money by cutting PV input, using an indoor-only housing or skipping lithium battery communication. It may also come without a valid local warranty. Compare the specification, not just the price tag, and be wary of any rate far below the market range above.

Solar Inverter Buying Notes for Pakistan

• Batteries: plan the battery and inverter together. Our solar battery guide explains lithium versus tubular, and you can compare lithium batteries here.

• DC protection: fit a 2P 1000 V DC solar breaker on the panel side. Our circuit breaker guide explains why an AC breaker cannot do this job.

• Surges and voltage: a surge protection device and a voltage protector protect a costly inverter from lightning and grid swings.

• Warranty: buy from an authorised seller and read the warranty policy before paying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of a 6 kW solar inverter in Pakistan?

A 6 kW inverter usually falls between Rs 110,000 and 260,000. Off-grid models sit at the lower end and IP65 hybrids at the top.

Which is cheaper, hybrid or off-grid?

Off-grid is cheaper to buy. A hybrid costs more but works with the grid and batteries together, which suits most homes under the 2026 net billing rules.

Can a hybrid inverter run without batteries?

Many modern hybrids can run directly on solar during the day, but you will have no backup at night or during load shedding.

How long does a solar inverter last?

Usually 10 to 15 years with correct installation, earthing and ventilation.

Is a cheap solar inverter worth buying?

Only if its PV input, protection rating and warranty still match your needs. A very low price is often a warning sign.

Choosing the Right Solar Inverter

Start with your load, pick the type that fits your grid and backup needs, then compare brands within that size. For the full picture on types, sizing and installation, read our solar inverter guide for Pakistan.
