Is solar a good fit for offices in Pakistan?

Yes. Offices use most of their power in daylight for cooling, lighting and IT, so they use almost everything their system produces, the most valuable kind of unit under net billing.

Can one dashboard show all our office sites?

Yes. Wattey SPC monitors every site and every inverter brand on one screen, at string level. Kickstart Co-Working’s 8 sites on two brands are monitored this way.

What about after-hours load?

Servers, security and some cooling run after hours. WattEY shows what runs when, so after-hours and peak-hour use can be cut or moved.

Solar for Offices and Co-Working Spaces in Pakistan: a Daytime Load, Many Sites, Mixed Inverter Brands

An office uses most of its electricity in working hours: air conditioning, lighting and IT, in daylight. That makes offices and co-working spaces one of the strongest fits for solar. The challenge is scale: a co-working operator may run many sites, each with its own system and sometimes a different inverter brand. Kickstart Co-Working runs 297 kW of solar across 8 sites and 7 inverters on two brands (GoodWe and Growatt), and Gulberg 5t in Lahore runs 88 kW, both monitored by Wattey SPC (as of 5 November 2026).

Key points

Offices use most of their electricity in working hours, which lines up with solar generation.
Multi-site portfolios and mixed inverter brands are the real challenge: each brand’s app shows only its own inverters.
Kickstart Co-Working: 297 kW across 8 sites and 7 inverters on GoodWe and Growatt, monitored by Wattey SPC on one screen (as of 5 November 2026).
Gulberg 5t, Lahore: 88 kW monitored by Wattey SPC, with electricity managed on WattEY.

A daytime load solar was made for

Air conditioning, lighting and IT run while the sun is up, so an office uses nearly every unit its system makes. Under net billing that matters: a unit you use yourself saves the full tariff, while an exported unit earns far less.

Many sites, many apps

A company with several offices, or a co-working operator with many floors and branches, ends up with several systems, often on different inverter brands. Each brand’s app shows only its own inverters, so nobody sees the portfolio in one place. Wattey SPC reads every brand into one view, string by string; Kickstart Co-Working’s 8 sites on GoodWe and Growatt are monitored this way.
