Renowned Chinese micro-inverter manufacturer Hoymiles entered the Pakistani market to offer high-tech and long-duration energy storage solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings utilizing solar power systems. The move marked a significant development for Pakistan’s rapidly expanding solar energy sector, which has been facing challenges related to reliable backup and storage solutions.
Hoymiles formed strategic partnerships with Superstar, a well-established name in Pakistan’s automotive industry, and Harisun Energy, a new entrant in the energy solutions market, to explore opportunities in the country. Pakistan has witnessed a sharp increase in solar adoption over recent years as consumers shifted to renewable energy to counter frequent power outages and soaring electricity tariffs.
According to industry reports, Pakistan’s net-metering capacity reached 6,000 megawatts, while off-grid solar capacity surged to 12,000 megawatts by the end of 2025, highlighting the scale and momentum of the sector.
“Pakistan’s growing solar market is facing a serious challenge related to long-hour backup and energy storage, which will now be addressed with the entry of a global leader in energy solutions,” said Haris Jamsheed, CEO of Harisun Energy. He added that the partnership would enable uninterrupted power supply during nighttime hours for homes, factories, and workplaces.
Chairman of Superstar Saleem Umar said the initiative aimed to bring an energy revolution to Pakistan through innovative storage technologies. “Affordable electricity backup solutions can significantly reduce operational costs and help exporters become more competitive in international markets,” he stated.
Superstar Solar Energy and Harisun Energy introduced Hoymiles’ advanced range of solar inverters, energy storage systems, and smart energy management solutions, designed to provide efficient and sustainable power.
A report by the International Energy Agency noted that Pakistan emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing solar markets, importing nearly 50 GW of solar panels, making it the third-largest market for Chinese solar panels globally.
