  One day, the majority of the world will be powered by renewables. Solar or Otherwise. We should all work together to build that better future.

  This might be the only good news coming out of Pakistan since a long time! Hope this will be the turning point for Pakistanis!

  just three years ago we installed 10kw system in peshawar pakistan (border region with afghanistan). it cost us 16 lac rupees (yes the prices were high then, almost double of what solar actually costs nowadays in pakistan). we have zero electricity bill so far (-100k rupees). i have set my per unit cost metrics at modest of 35 rupees (but actual cost is 55) in my solar tracking app and so far we have generated 17 lacs plus energy. so in just 3 years we have already recovered our investment. this used to 5 year before. and now with huge slash in solar prices, its recovery period is 2 years which is amazing deal for everyone and hence the revolution. the town where we live now has almost 90% solar panels installed on every house. pakistan is the first country in the world to achieve such a massive solar revolution in such a short time and it has become now a case study in some of the well known universities in the world. go green everyone regardless of which part of the world you live in. let&apos;s reverse the climate change by adopting green tech and green habits.

  It’s not just about solar panels; it’s mainly about electricity storage and new battery cells from China. Solar panels simply charge the batteries.
