Approximately 50,000 MW of solar power is available in Pakistan. The most suitable locations for solar power generation are the north-eastern part of Sindh and the south-western part of Baluchistan, which receive approximately 2500 hours of sunlight for about 8–10 hours per day and 2400–2800 hours per annum.
Estimates by experts suggest that half of the tube wells will switch to solar power, adding 5.6 GW to 7.5 GW of distributed PV capacity — equivalent to 1 million U.S. residential rooftop solar systems. This shift has not only restructured energy in rural Pakistan but also reduced dependence on costly imported diesel.
