Load-shedding setups (fan / lights / fridge)
For many Pakistani homes, the first reason to buy solar is not a lower bill — it is light and air during an outage. Load-shedding setups are therefore designed backwards from the outage: list only the essentials you must keep running, estimate how long outages usually last in your area, then size panels, battery and inverter for that list — not for the whole house. This category focuses on small, honest setups: what they can run, for how long, what they cannot run, and how to avoid overspending on a system that is bigger than your backup need.
