I completed my solar installation in November 2025 and have now accumulated 6 months of real data. Sharing the full picture for anyone considering a similar system in Faisalabad.

System: 16 x LONGi Hi-MO X10 645W monofacial panels (10.32 kW DC), Solis S6-EH1P6K 6kW hybrid inverter, Dyness DL5.0C 5.12 kWh LV battery, GI C-channel mounting on flat concrete roof at 15 degree south-facing tilt. Installed by Saigal Solar, commissioned November 12, 2025.

Monthly generation (kWh): November 1,050 — December 890 — January 820 — February 1,020 — March 1,380 — April 1,540.

Bill comparison: my average summer bill before solar was Rs. 42,000 and winter around Rs. 18,000. Since installation: bills have been Rs. 4,000 to 8,500 per month — roughly 85 percent reduction. April 2026 bill was only Rs. 3,800 despite running 2 ACs full time.

What has worked well: the Solis inverter has been completely reliable, zero faults in 6 months. The SolisCloud app is genuinely useful — I check it every morning. The Dyness battery handles the evening peak from 7pm to midnight comfortably, typically showing 20 to 25 percent remaining at 11pm.

Issues encountered: in December, a neighbour installed a large water tank that created morning shading on 3 panels. Cost me about 8 percent generation that month. I am planning to relocate 2 panels to a different roof section to clear the shadow. The battery BMS did a protective disconnect once in January when temperature dropped to 4 degrees Celsius at night — this is normal and it reconnected automatically at 7am. Nothing alarming.

Overall verdict: absolutely worth it. Estimated payback at current tariffs: 22 months. The combination of daily savings, load-shedding freedom, and low maintenance has been exactly what I hoped for.

Happy to answer questions about the installation experience, the Solis app, or the Dyness battery performance.
