Multan is one of the hottest cities in Pakistan, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 47°C. That heat is brutal on people and on grid infrastructure — but it is also one of the highest solar irradiance levels in the country. Multan receives approximately 3,200 hours of sunshine per year, putting it in the top tier of Pakistani cities for solar generation potential. The same sun that drives up your AC bill is your single largest free energy source.
MEPCO supplies electricity across South Punjab, and tariff increases over the past three years have hit residential and commercial consumers hard. Net billing through MEPCO offsets your daytime consumption with solar generation, with any surplus fed back bought at roughly Rs 10-11 per unit. For a typical Multan household running heavy AC loads in summer, a 10kW system can cut a PKR 70,000 monthly bill by around PKR 35,000-55,000.
Solar Citizen designs Multan systems with extreme-heat operation in mind. Standard Pakistan-spec panels lose efficiency above 35°C — we use temperature-coefficient-optimized Tier-1 modules, oversized inverters with active cooling, and elevated rail-mounted racking that allows airflow under panels. SOL AI tracks heat-induced derating and flags any module under-performing for its temperature class. Whether you are in Cantt, Gulgasht, or Mumtazabad, we engineer for Multan’s reality.
