When shopping for solar panels in Pakistan, two brands dominate every dealer conversation: Longi and Jinko. Both are Chinese Tier-1 manufacturers. Both are widely available in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. And both make excellent panels.
So which one should you actually buy? This guide gives you a direct, no-nonsense comparison based on current Pakistan market prices, warranty terms, efficiency, and real-world performance.

Current Prices in Pakistan (June 2026)
Longi Solar Panel Prices
- Longi Hi-Mo X10 640–650W HPBC 2.0 Bi-facial: Rs. 46/W (Rs. 29,440 per panel)
- Longi Hi-Mo X7 585–590W N-Type Bi-facial: Rs. 44/W (Rs. 25,740 per panel)
- Longi Hi-Mo X7 610–615W N-Type Bi-facial: Rs. 42.75/W (Rs. 26,291 per panel)
Jinko Solar Panel Prices
- Jinko N-Type 585–590W Tiger Neo Bi-facial: Rs. 43/W (Rs. 25,155 per panel)
- Jinko N-Type 615–625W Tiger Neo 3.0: Rs. 43.25/W (Rs. 27,060 per panel)
- Jinko N-Type 630–645W Tiger Neo 3.0: Rs. 44/W (Rs. 27,720 per panel)
Price verdict: Jinko is typically Rs. 1–3 per watt cheaper than Longi at comparable wattages. On a 5kW system, that’s a saving of Rs. 5,000–Rs. 15,000 — meaningful but not huge.
Efficiency – Does It Matter for Pakistani Roofs?
Both Longi and Jinko offer very similar real-world efficiency in Pakistan’s climate. The difference of 0.3–0.5% in rated efficiency translates to almost nothing on your electricity bill.
What matters more in Pakistan is temperature coefficient — how much output drops as panels heat up. Pakistan summers regularly see panel surface temperatures of 60–70°C. Longi’s HPBC technology gives it a slight edge here (-0.29%/°C vs Jinko’s -0.30%/°C), but again, the difference is negligible in real use.
Warranty – Are Both Brands Reliable?
Both brands offer 12-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty on paper. The real question in Pakistan is: who actually honors the warranty?
Both Longi and Jinko have authorized distributors in Pakistan. Before buying, confirm your dealer is an authorized distributor and that the panels are documented (with proper paperwork) — not grey market imports. Undocumented panels void the manufacturer warranty.
At Solar Price Pakistan, all prices listed are for A-Grade documented panels only.
Which Brand is More Available in Pakistan?
Both are widely stocked across all major markets — Hall Road Lahore, Saddar Karachi, Raja Bazaar Islamabad. You will not struggle to find either brand.
However, Longi has a slightly stronger brand perception among Pakistani consumers, which also means dealers sometimes charge a small premium for it. Jinko is equally reliable but slightly more price-competitive.
Longi vs Jinko – Which Should You Choose?
Choose Longi if:
- Budget is flexible and you want the #1 selling panel brand globally
- Your roof has some shading issues (HPBC technology handles partial shading better)
- You want the highest resale value perception in Pakistan’s market
- You’re installing a larger system (8kW+) where brand trust matters more
Choose Jinko if:
- You want to save Rs. 5,000–Rs. 20,000 on a 5kW system vs Longi
- You’re comfortable with a slightly lesser-known brand that’s equally good technically
- Your installer has a better deal on Jinko (common in Karachi and Islamabad)
The Honest Answer
Both Longi and Jinko N-Type panels are excellent. You will not regret either choice. The bigger decision is your inverter and whether to go on-grid or hybrid — that has far more impact on your experience than the panel brand.
If a dealer is pushing you heavily toward one brand, it’s often because they have higher margin on it — not because it’s better for you. Compare quotes with both brands and let the price guide you.
