How to Choose the Right Solar Installer in Pakistan: 7 Questions to Ask

Choosing the right solar installer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when investing in solar energy. In Pakistan’s fast-growing solar market, new installers are popping up everywhere — but not all are created equal.

To avoid poor installation, unreliable service, or even safety risks, you need to ask the right questions before signing any deal.

Here are the 7 most critical questions every Pakistani homeowner or business should ask a solar installer in 2025:

1. Are You a Registered and Licensed Installer?

Make sure the installer is officially registered with relevant government bodies (like AEDB) and follows NEPRA safety regulations. A licensed provider is more likely to install systems that qualify for net metering and future support.

Bonus Tip: Apex Energia works with licensed engineers and offers net metering-ready systems. Learn more at apexsolar.pk.

2. Can You Share Previous Installation Projects in Pakistan?

Reputation matters. Ask for real case studies, photos, or even contact numbers of satisfied customers. Good companies proudly share their track record.

Ask: “How many systems have you installed in homes like mine?”

3. Do You Provide a Local Warranty? What’s Covered?

Imported solar components often come with a manufacturer warranty, but not all warranties are honored locally. Confirm:

• Duration of warranty (panels, inverters, batteries)
• Who handles claims?
• Are spare parts available locally?

Apex offers 6–10 year local warranty on batteries and full after-sales support.

4. What Brands and Components Do You Use?

Not all solar panels and inverters are the same. Tier-1 components like LONGi, Jinko, or APEX lithium batteries perform better and last longer.

Ask about:

• Inverter brand (hybrid or grid-tied?)
• Battery technology (lithium vs lead-acid)
• Solar panel efficiency

5. Is Your Quotation Transparent and Customized to My Needs?

Avoid cookie-cutter solutions. A reliable installer should:

• Visit your site
• Assess shadow, roof angle, usage load
• Offer a clear proposal with pricing, warranty, and payback period

Watch out for vague, too-good-to-be-true pricing.

6. Who Handles After-Sales Support and Maintenance?

Many solar companies vanish after installation. You want a partner, not just an installer.

Ask:

• Do you have a service team?
• How fast do you respond to support calls?
• Do you have a nearby service center?

Apex offers nationwide after-service network and local warehousing.

7. Do You Offer Load Analysis and Battery Sizing?

A poor battery or system match will cause performance issues or overload. A skilled installer:

• Calculates your energy usage
• Matches battery size accordingly
• Helps you plan future upgrade

Final Thoughts: Why Asking Questions Matters

Solar is a long-term investment. The wrong installer can mean years of frustration and costly repairs. The right one will bring 25+ years of peace of mind.
