Lahore is no stranger to scorching summers, but 2025 has taken heatwaves to a record high. With temperatures soaring past 47°C and the national power grid under extreme stress, residents are facing not just discomfort but dangerous conditions. Power outages, voltage drops, and skyrocketing bills have turned summer into a crisis. But in the middle of this heatwave, one solution is proving to be both reliable and cost-effective: solar energy.
ZeeDot Energies, Lahore’s trusted solar company, is helping homeowners and businesses beat the heat while cutting down on energy costs through smart solar panel installations and solar-powered air conditioning systems. In this article, we explore how solar energy is not just surviving, but thriving during Lahore’s harsh summer.
Why Solar Panels Perform Well in Heat
There’s a common myth that solar panels lose efficiency in extreme heat. The truth? While high temperatures slightly reduce panel output, Lahore’s long sunny days and strong solar irradiance still provide ideal conditions for solar generation.
- Sunlight over temperature: It’s not the heat that powers solar panels – it’s the sunlight. And Lahore receives an average of 8-9 hours of sunlight daily in summer.
- Modern panel efficiency: Panels like Longi, Jinko, and Canadian Solar offer excellent temperature coefficients, minimizing performance loss even above 40°C.
- Inverter cooling systems: High-quality inverters like Growatt and Huawei feature temperature-regulated systems to avoid overheating.
ZeeDot Energies only installs Tier-1 solar equipment, ensuring long-term performance even under the harshest conditions.
How ZeeDot Solar Systems Power ACs During Load Shedding
In the current crisis, uninterrupted cooling is a must. ZeeDot Energies offers hybrid solar systems that power air conditioning units during the day and store energy for backup at night.
Typical setup for a 1-Ton AC unit:
- 6kW Solar Panel Array
- 5kVA Hybrid Inverter (e.g., Inverex Nitrox or InfiniSolar)
- 2 x 200Ah Lithium-Ion Batteries
This setup can run:
- 1 Ton inverter AC
- Fans and lights
- Refrigerator
- Wi-Fi and computer
Bonus: Smart load management apps allow users to monitor energy usage and optimize performance.
Cost Savings Breakdown: Solar vs. WAPDA
Let’s compare monthly costs for a typical home running a 1 Ton AC for 8 hours/day:
| Energy Source | Monthly Cost | Annual Cost | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| WAPDA Grid | PKR 35,000 | PKR 420,000 | High (unstable supply) |
| Solar Hybrid | PKR 5,000 | PKR 60,000 | Low (routine check) |
Savings per year: Over PKR 360,000 Return on investment: 2.5 to 3 years
ZeeDot also helps homeowners qualify for net metering, allowing excess energy to be sold back to the grid.
