Question 1

How does Net Metering work in Pakistan and what is the process?

Accepted Answer

Net Metering is a billing mechanism that sends excess solar electricity generated during sunny daytime hours back to your regional DISCO (LESCO, IESCO, K-Electric, GEPCO, etc.) through a bi-directional "Green Meter". The exported units are credited against the units you consume at night. AGS Solar handles the entire end-to-end liaison process, including AEDB engineering drawings, load verification, DISCO application filing, and official green meter energization.

Question 2

What is the typical payback period for a residential solar system?

Accepted Answer

Given current electricity tariffs in Pakistan (~Rs. 58-65/kWh average tiered rate), a properly sized residential solar system (5kW to 15kW) with net metering typically recovers its entire capital cost within 2.5 to 3.2 years, after which your electricity is essentially free for the remaining 20+ years of panel life.

Question 3

Why should I choose Lithium LiFePO4 batteries over traditional tubular lead-acid batteries?

Accepted Answer

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries deliver 6,000+ deep discharge cycles (lasting 12–15 years) compared to tubular batteries which degrade in 2–3 years under high Pakistani ambient temperatures. LiFePO4 batteries are maintenance-free (no distilled water top-ups), charge twice as fast, discharge up to 90% safely, and communicate directly with your hybrid inverter via smart BMS.

Question 4

Can an elevated solar structure (L2 or L3) be installed on my rooftop?

Accepted Answer

Yes! AGS Solar specializes in custom elevated L2 (single-level elevated) and L3 (double-level high clearance) structures constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel and anodized aluminum. This allows you to retain 100% of your rooftop open space for evening tea or family gatherings while keeping panels elevated for better cooling and higher generation efficiency.

Question 5

What warranties do AGS Solar products and installations carry?

Accepted Answer

Tier-1 solar PV modules come with a 25-Year Linear Power Output Warranty (guaranteeing 80%+ output at year 25) and a 12-Year Product Workmanship Warranty. Inverters (such as Inverex Nitrox, Aston, and SunSynk) carry 5-Year replacement warranties, and our LiFePO4 lithium batteries carry 5-Year replacement warranties with 10+ year design life.

Question 6

Can I purchase standalone accessories (inverters, batteries, cables) from the showroom?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our physical showroom and online shop provide direct access to factory-boxed inverters, battery banks, TUV-certified DC cables, and mounting clamps with Cash-on-Delivery or instant WhatsApp order placement.

Question 7

What maintenance does a rooftop solar plant require?

Accepted Answer

Solar systems require minimal maintenance. In Pakistan, we recommend washing the glass surface of the solar panels with clean water once every 10 to 14 days during dusty or dry weather to maintain peak generation efficiency. AGS Solar also provides annual health checks and cloud diagnostics.
