Rawalpindi, as Islamabad’s twin city, shares many of the capital’s advantages for solar energy while adding its own unique demand drivers. With a dense urban population, a thriving commercial district along Murree Road and Committee Chowk, and a large military cantonment area, Rawalpindi’s electricity consumption is substantial. IESCO tariffs apply here just as they do in Islamabad, and rising rates have made solar an increasingly attractive proposition for both residential and commercial customers.
The city receives approximately 2,500 hours of effective sunshine per year — more than enough to power a well-designed solar system at peak efficiency for most of the year. IESCO net billing lets Rawalpindi customers export surplus generation (bought back at roughly Rs 10-11 per unit) while cutting the daytime units they would otherwise import, meaningfully reducing monthly electricity bills. The payback period for most residential systems is 3-4 years, while commercial installations often recover their investment in under 3 years.
