The rooftop solar boom is already generating demand for electricians, installers, inverter technicians, battery vendors and after-sales workers well beyond what official data captures.The quality of newly created employment opportunities in the renewable sector is a policy concern. Around three-quarters of the projected jobs are semi-skilled or unskilled. One in five renewable-energy workers is part-time. Small rooftop firms retain only sales staff while assembling temporary or “floating” technical teams on a project-by-project basis. More than 80 percent of renewable energy companies provide in-house training to address gaps in the public…

To date, rooftop capacity installed under a net metering policy (excluding off-grid) has surpassed 7 GW
To date, rooftop capacity installed under a net metering policy (excluding off-grid) has surpassed 7 GW Iftikhar Ahmad In early 2025, Pakistan became one of the fewer than 20 nations that generated at least 25 percent of their electric energy from solar. In 2020, solar energy had accounted for less than 3 percent of total utility electricity generation. Pakistan imported over 30 GW of solar modules in 2024 and 2025. Its more than 33 GW of distributed solar capacity is equivalent to two-thirds of Pakistan’s total installed generation capacity of…

ISLAMABAD: Solar net metering has emerged as a critical buffer against daytime power outages in Pakistan, helping the country navigate one of its most severe energy crises driven by fuel shortages and reduced hydropower generation. Despite a widening electricity shortfall, authorities have managed to avoid daytime loadshedding largely due to the growing contribution of distributed solar systems. With an estimated 8,000MW of installed net-metered capacity, solar users are injecting over 2,000MW into the grid during daylight hours—effectively saving the country from nearly four additional hours of loadshedding. Federal Minister for…
