Solar energy is the heat and radiant light from the sun that can be harnessed with technologies such as solar power (used to generate electricity) and solar thermal energy (used for applications such as water heating). The Pakistani solar energy market is segmented by end users (residential, commercial, and utility).
Solar PV power entered Pakistan's energy mix in 2013 after the government introduced a set of support policies to foster renewable energy development. The Pakistani government knows that Pakistan has an average of 9.5 hours of sunlight daily.
According to the Private Power and Infrastructure Board of the Ministry of Energy, seven 530-megawatt solar projects are operational and supplying electricity to the national grid. Pakistan's renewable energy mix consists of solar, wind, hydroelectricity, and bioenergy.
The NEPRA report highlights that solar power's share of Pakistan's total electricity generation is expected to increase to 1.6% in 2025, up from 0.7% in 2024. This growth is part of a broader trend toward renewable energy adoption as the country seeks to diversify its energy mix and improve environmental sustainability.
