Pakistan emerges as one of region’s fastest-growing solar markets

Pakistan is witnessing a fast-rising solar energy revolution, driven by mounting power shortages and the burden of costly imported fuels. From rooftops in residential neighbourhoods to large industrial units, solar panels are becoming an increasingly common sight.

Between July 2024 and March 2025 alone, the country imported 12.7 gigawatts of solar PV modules — a remarkable figure considering Pakistan’s total power generation capacity stands at 46.6 gigawatts. This surge positions Pakistan as one of the region’s most promising solar markets, drawing the attention of global renewable energy leaders eager to establish a presence.

It is in this context that Trina Solar’s achievement carries special significance. The company has been named among the world’s Tier 1 clean tech firms by S&P Global Commodity Insights — a distinction awarded for both solar PV modules and energy storage systems.

For nearly 30 years, Trina Solar has been at the forefront of the photovoltaic sector. Since 2015, it has also invested heavily in energy storage, offering complete solutions from battery cells to AC systems. Today, its network spans more than 180 countries.

For Pakistan, where the solar market is expanding at an unprecedented pace, the presence of globally recognised companies provides confidence to investors, developers, and industrial consumers. It highlights that success in this sector hinges on innovation and quality.

Trina Solar’s inclusion in S&P Global’s first Tier 1 list further cements its role as a trusted leader in the global clean energy transition. For countries like Pakistan, it is a reminder that achieving affordable and sustainable electricity depends on choosing technology partners with proven track records of reliability and innovation.
