Pakistan is in the midst of a very big growth phase in solar photovoltaic (PV) power, and has joined the ranks of the world’s sixth-largest solar market. This fast development is thanks to the increased demand for energy, the positive policies of the government and the significant investments of both the public and private sectors.
The country’s solar energy capacity has been growing quickly, because both residential and industrial sectors see the benefits of renewable energy. Along with the intense sun, particularly in the south and west, Pakistan has a big advantage in geographical terms, what makes solar power an ideal solution for the country to cover the not constant electricity demand.
This transformation has been mainly powered by the government’s policies such as duty-free solar panel imports, installation loans, and utilities that allow the users to sell the excess power back to the grid. The incentives combined with the reduced cost of solar technology have resulted in the growth of tea solar power in Pakistan, making it more available and cheaper for the people.
As renewable energy is a priority for Pakistan, the experts project that the country’s solar might will grow further and it will contribute to its goals for energy security and sustainability. The administration wants 30 percent of the total energy mix to come from there by 2030 while solar energy will be a major part of it.
