Solar panel prices fall in Lahore after fuel price cuts

In Lahore and other parts of Pakistan, solar panel prices have dropped by Rs 4,000‑9,000 per unit following the government’s recent cuts to petrol and diesel rates. Traders say lower fuel costs reduced transportation and logistics expenses, allowing dealers to pass savings on to consumers. The price reduction is expected to make renewable‑energy systems more affordable for households and small businesses, while battery prices are also projected to fall in the coming weeks.

The move comes amid high electricity bills and frequent power outages in Pakistan, prompting many to adopt solar power. Analysts believe the cheaper equipment will boost demand for solar installations, reduce dependence on imported fuel and support the country’s clean‑energy goals.
