A 250kW Pakola Sukkur solar power system, equipped with high-efficiency PV modules from Astronergy, has been successfully installed and connected to the grid in Sukkur, Pakistan. Developed by Skylit Power, the project utilizes 432 ASTRO N5 series modules from Astronergy, injecting fresh momentum into Pakistan’s clean energy transformation and sustainable development goals.
As a pivotal solar initiative in Pakistan’s industrial sector, the Pakola Sukkur system has garnered significant attention since its inception. The ASTRO N5 modules, renowned for their superior conversion efficiency, bifacial power generation capabilities, and long-term reliability, were selected for the project.
Powered by Astronergy’s proprietary n-type TOPCon 4.0 cell technology and enhanced with features like Super Multi BusBar (SMBB) and gap-filling encapsulation, the ASTRO N5 modules deliver higher power output, exceptional anti-degradation performance, and resilience against extreme environmental conditions. These attributes make them particularly well-suited for Pakistan’s high-temperature, high-irradiance climate. By reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) over the project’s lifecycle, the modules underscore the economic and environmental advantages of solar energy.
Installation of the project was completed in January 2025, with grid synchronization achieved by late February. Once operational, the system is expected to generate 33,600 kWh of clean electricity annually, significantly curbing reliance on traditional fossil fuels. Additionally, the project will mitigate approximately 525,670 tons of CO₂ emissions annually—equivalent to the carbon-sequestering capacity of thousands of trees—contributing meaningfully to global climate action.
This initiative exemplifies Astronergy’s commitment to fostering renewable energy adoption in emerging markets, aligning with Pakistan’s ambitions to diversify its energy mix and reduce carbon footprints.
