Charge by Day, Power All Night

Aneela, a technical expert at AR Brothers, highlights a practical energy storage solution designed to keep homes and businesses powered when the grid is unavailable. This Iron Lithium Phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery can store solar energy during the day and provide reliable power when it is needed.

With an operational lifespan of 10–12 years and a 5-year warranty, it can be used across residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including both hybrid and on-grid systems.

Whether WAPDA power is available, unavailable, or there is load shedding, stored energy can help keep essential appliances and systems running.

A reliable way to store solar energy, manage power interruptions, and make better use of the energy you generate.

Winter warmth that looks like art.

Zia-ur-Rehman, technical expert at AR Brothers, highlights a smart heating solution that belongs on your wall — not in the middle of the room. It looks like a painting, yet it is a 500-watt room heater that warms the space quickly and efficiently.

Touch it, and you will not get burned. There is no open flame, no scorching surface, and no extra household hazard. It runs on solar, UPS, or the main grid, so it fits both on-grid and off-grid homes. Best of all, the price stays within reach.

A clean, low-wattage way to stay warm without wasting energy or compromising safety.

How does a Solar Street Light actually work?

In this video, Zia Ul Rehman, Technical Expert at AR Brothers, walks through the system piece by piece — including the lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery that stores the electricity the light needs after sunset.

He also explains the output these solar street lights can deliver, and why the right battery matters as much as the panel on top.

Clean lighting doesn’t have to depend on the grid. It depends on a system that can collect, store, and use power when it’s needed.

"After Retirement, a Government Employee Fights Ever-Growing Inflation with Solar"

Ayaz Ahmed Khan is 62, a father of four, living in Islamabad’s I-8 sector. Two years after he retired from CDA, his pension could not carry a household of six. Electricity bills ran to PKR 60,000–70,000 a month. In winter, gas climbed toward PKR 80,000. That was the turning point.

He invested his retirement savings in a 12 kVA solar system and a green meter. The bill did not just fall. It went negative. Last month it was –PKR 137,000. Extra units go to the national grid and come back as credit. For someone living on a pension, that is not a line on a statement. It is room to plan again.

Gas heaters were replaced with inverter ACs, powered by the roof. The home now runs on clean energy: cooling, fans, kitchen appliances, and the water pump. With the pressure eased, he planted a small garden at the front of the house and grows vegetables and fruit.

Next, he wants to move his petrol vehicles to electric and charge them at home. This is the change that lasts. People take up solar because inflation and bills leave them no choice — then they become an example in their community.

Had a fruitful and forward‑looking meeting with the Head of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy (Power Division), Mr. Muhammad Idrees, focused on why consumers must be at the center of Pakistan’s transition to clean energy.
We discussed how placing consumers at the heart of policy design can accelerate adoption of clean technologies, improve affordability, and strengthen public trust in the reforms ahead. Parliamentary leadership plays a critical role in ensuring that regulatory frameworks, efficiency programs, and renewable energy pathways are shaped around real consumer needs.

SSGC meter replacement drive fails to cut UfG losses

Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) replaced gas meters for 80% of its customers in Sindh and Balochistan (2.563 million out of 3.267 million) for Rs 19.5 billion between FY 2013-14 and FY 2021-22. Despite this, Unaccounted For Gas (UfG) losses rose from 13.82% to 17.84%.
The Auditor General of Pakistan told the Public Accounts Committee that the heavy spending did not reduce UFG. SSGC MD Muhammad Amin Rajput said volume losses fell from 72 BCF (FY 2018-19) to 31.7 BCF (2023) and that UFG, excluding Balochistan, is now in single digits and below the OGRA benchmark of 7.4%. The audit also flagged fake-meter cases worth Rs 123.6 million.

When a Solar Panel Creates More Than Clean Energy

Making a religious leader a proactive advocate for clean energy is a big win.

The journey may have started with a practical need: rising electricity costs and the desire to provide a more comfortable learning environment for students at a madrassa.

Installing solar offered a way to reduce electricity bills while extending cooling comfort to students during Pakistan’s increasingly hot summers.

But something bigger happened in the process.

The religious leader became not just a consumer of clean energy, but an advocate for it—using his position and influence to encourage others to consider clean, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions.

This is exactly the kind of change we want to see: when people adopt clean energy because it makes economic and practical sense, and then become ambassadors for the energy transition within their communities.

His story also gives greater credibility to the message being shared through Sabz Bijli, our consumer-focused one-stop information platform at https://t.co/HwtwK4Z4BR

Clean energy is not only about technology. It is about people, choices and communities.

And when trusted community voices start sharing that message, the energy transition becomes a movement.

Pakistan’s battery imports surged 3x in a year.

Home batteries + solar can form Virtual Power Plants — reducing peak costs & imported fuel dependence.

But the grid needs fair pricing & modern planning to capture this opportunity.

Interesting read in Dawn: Pakistan’s battery demand is set to jump from 5–6 GWh to 40–51 GWh by 2031 ($6.5–9 bn market), yet over 80% is still imported.

Without local manufacturing, the annual import bill could exceed $2–3.15 bn. The Battery Manufacturing Policy 2026–31 is a step forward — but execution is key.

12kW Solar System = Zero Electricity Bill! ⚡

From paying around Rs. 20,000–25,000 in monthly WAPDA bills to bringing the electricity bill down to zero — solar energy can transform the way we power our homes.

With a 12kW solar system, inverters and battery storage, this homeowner now has far less reliance on the grid and can generate clean, affordable electricity right at home.

🇵🇰 The message is simple: Pakistan has abundant sunlight. Let’s use it.

Switch to solar. Generate your own power. Reduce your electricity bills. Build a cleaner, more energy-independent Pakistan. 🌱☀️

High bills killing you?

A well-sized 5–10 kW rooftop system can power fans, lights, TV, and even ACs during the day — and cut your monthly bill dramatically.

Payback is often 2.5–5 years depending on usage & tariffs.

Over 20–25 years = massive long-term savings + energy independence.

The SabzBijli team attended the national conference
“Driving the EV Transition: Synergising Policy, Grid, and Green Financing”
at NUST, organised by USPCAS-E in collaboration with Indus Consortium. We learned a great deal from experts including Rabia Babar (Renewables First), Mehrosh Fatima (National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority), Dr. Amir (University of Lahore), Sadullah Ijaz (Atlas Honda), Shuja ul Haq Siddique (Pakistan Associate of Automotive Parts & Accessories Manufacturers), Shahid Jilani (Indus Consortium), Shaheen Akhtar (State Bank Pakistan), and Dr. Huzaifa Rauf (Lahore University of Management Sciences).

Key takeaways:•
Pakistan aims for 46% EV market share by 2035 with a 22% rise in electrification
• Strong need for policy stability, local EV & battery manufacturing, after-sales support and testing facilities
• EV industry must be treated separately from traditional auto sector due to different regulations and technologies
• Atlas Honda targeting 50% localisation this year; future models to be manufactured locally
• Challenges remain: higher FBR duties on local parts vs imports, high security costs compared to Indonesia & South Africa
• Clear NEECA process for charging stations (online registration, NOCs, 15-day timeline, concessional tariffs)
• SBP green financing and higher loan limits needed to accelerate adoption.

Grateful for the rich discussions on policy, grid readiness, green financing and local industry development. The road to clean mobility in Pakistan is taking shape — and we’re excited to be part of it.

⚡ Time of Use (ToU) Tip for Pakistan:
Right now (Jun–Aug) Peak hours are 7 PM – 11 PM.

During these 4 hours, electricity costs more. All other hours = Off-Peak (cheaper).

Shift washing, ironing, pumps & charging to Off-Peak and cut your bill.

Solar + storage makes it even smarter
