Cost of Delay FAQs
Why locking in Tier-1 solar now yields the highest return on investment in Pakistan.
Every month you rely solely on DISCO grid power, you pay non-recoverable peak unit slab rates (Rs. 56–62/kWh), fuel price adjustments (FPA), and quarterly tariff adjustments (QTA). For a typical PKR 85,000 monthly bill, delaying solar for 12 months means forfeiting over PKR 8.5 Lacs in grid payments that could have fully paid off solar hardware.
