Solar cables are a core part of every solar PV system, carrying power safely from the panels to the inverter and battery. Their prices in Pakistan vary widely depending on size, material, insulation, brand, and whether the cable is AC or DC rated. In 2025, the solar market in Lahore and across Pakistan offers a mix of locally manufactured and imported cables, each priced differently based on quality and specifications.

Below is a combined, easy-to-read breakdown of all the pricing information you provided.

1. Solar Cable Prices per Meter in Pakistan (2025)

Solar cable rates generally start from PKR 150 per meter for basic 4mm cables and go up to PKR 900 or more for 16mm cables. High-grade copper and imported XLPO cables cost more.

General Price Table

10mm	PKR 400 – 550/m	PKR 1,800 – 4,000/m (premium copper)
16mm	PKR 700 – 900+/m	PKR 95,020 – 203,732 (per drum, depending on length)

2. DC Solar Cable Prices in Lahore (2025)

DC cables are double-insulated, UV-resistant, and designed for 1500V DC.

DC Cable Price Table

DC Cable Size	Price Range Per Meter
4mm DC	PKR 180 – 280
6mm DC	PKR 320 – 400
10mm DC	PKR 450 – 600

3. Key Factors That Affect Solar Cable Prices

a. Cable Size (mm²)

Larger sizes cost more. Common sizes:
 2.5mm², 4mm², 6mm², 10mm², 16mm².

b. Material Quality

• Tinned Copper (TIN CU): Long-lasting, corrosion-free, better conductivity.
  
  
• Bare Copper: Cheaper but less resistant.
  
  
• Aluminum: Lowest cost, but not recommended for solar systems.
  
  

c. Insulation Type

• XLPO: Best for solar — UV resistant, weatherproof, long lifespan.
  
  
• PVC: Cheaper but not ideal for long-term outdoor use.
  
  

d. Cable Type

• Single-Core (S/C): Used commonly in solar DC systems.
  
  
• Multi-Core (M/C): Used in special wiring or AC applications.
  
  

e. Voltage Rating

• 1500V DC rated cables are designed specially for PV systems.
  
  

4. Price of Fast Solar Cable in Pakistan

Fast cables, usually made from tinned copper with XLPO insulation, fall at the higher end of the price spectrum:

• Typically PKR 350 – 450 per meter for 6mm
  
  
• Imported/high-spec varieties may cost even more
  
  

5. Price of 6mm Solar Cable in Pakistan (2025)

One of the most commonly used sizes:

• Basic: PKR 250 – 350 per meter
  
  
• Copper / XLPO: PKR 265 – 300 per meter
  
  
• Premium Brands: PKR 350 – 450 per meter
  
  

6. LONGi 585 Watt Solar Panel Price in Pakistan (2025)

LONGi is one of the most popular solar panel brands in Pakistan. Price varies by seller, panel type (Hi-Mo 5/6), and warranty.

• Typical Market Range: PKR 22,000 – 23,500 per panel
  
  
• Some sellers list premium variants: PKR 165,000 (for specific Hi-Mo 6 models or multi-panel bundles)
  
  

7. Average Solar Cable Cost in Lahore

Complete systems often require multiple cable sizes, so total average cable cost usually falls around:

• PKR 9,999 – 14,999 for typical home solar installations.
  
  

Final Summary

Solar cable prices in Pakistan fluctuate based on size, material, insulation, and whether the cable is DC-rated for solar PV systems. In general:

• 4mm: PKR 150–250
  
  
• 6mm: PKR 250–350
  
  
• 10mm: PKR 400–550
  
  
• 16mm: PKR 700–900+
  
  

High-grade tinned copper or XLPO solar cables cost more but deliver better durability and performance.

Solar consumers should focus on cable quality, insulation, and proper sizing to avoid power loss and ensure system safety. Brands like Longi remain popular, with 585W panels priced around PKR 22,000–23,500.
