150 Watt Solar Plate Price in Pakistan and Other Small Panels
A 150 watt solar plate is a small 12V panel for a fan, a few lights, a phone charger or a 12V battery. Its price depends on the per-watt rate, and small panels usually cost more per watt than big roof panels. This guide explains what 100W to 340W panels can run, how to charge a battery with them, and when a small complete solar package is the better buy.

What a 150 watt solar plate can run
A 150W panel makes roughly 0.5 to 0.7 units (kWh) on a good sunny day. That is enough for a DC fan and a few LED lights during the day, or to charge a 12V battery for a few hours of lights at night.
It cannot run an AC, a fridge, an iron or a water motor on its own. For those loads you need several large panels, an inverter and a bigger battery. If you want a fridge or more fans, look at a 1kW system instead (1kW Solar System).
Common small sizes: 100W to 340W
- 100W to 150W: 12V panels for lights, DC fans, CCTV cameras and small batteries.
- 180W to 200W: larger 12V panels for a DC fan plus lights, or faster battery charging.
- 250W to 340W: older 24V style panels, now often sold second-hand or as old stock. Check the condition carefully.
- Folding panels: portable 60W to 200W panels for camping and power stations.
Prices for all of these are quoted per watt, and the rate is higher than for 550W+ roof panels.
Charging a 12V battery with a small panel
Never connect a panel straight to a battery. Use a charge controller between them. PWM controllers are cheap and fine for small 12V setups; MPPT controllers get more energy out of the panel.
As a rough guide, a 150W panel can put about 40 to 60 amp-hours into a 12V battery on a good day. That suits a 12V lithium battery such as the SolarMax SM-LFP-12100 12.8V 100Ah or the Itel IPB-12100 for a small light-and-fan setup, or a small tubular battery such as the Osaka TA-1000. A lithium battery charges faster and needs no water.
12V DC water pump and other DC loads
Small DC water pumps for gardens, livestock or overhead tanks can run directly from a 150W to 300W panel through the pump's own controller. They pump only while the sun is out. Bigger motors and tube wells need a proper solar pump drive and many panels; see our solar water pump and tube well guide (Solar System for Tube Well and Water Pump in Pakistan).
Mono or poly small panels
Monocrystalline (mono) small panels are black, smaller for the same watts and handle heat a bit better. Polycrystalline (poly) panels are blue, larger and cheaper per watt but are now less common. For a small 12V panel, mono is the better choice if the price gap is small. Read more in types of solar panels (Types of Solar Panels in Pakistan: Mono, Poly, Bifacial and N-Type).
When a complete small system is better
Many people buy one 150W plate, then another, then a small inverter, and end up with a setup that does not work well together. If your aim is to keep fans, lights, TV and Wi-Fi running during load shedding, a matched starter package is simpler.
Our Lithium 1.15kW Solar System uses two 575W panels, a Growatt SPF 3500 ES inverter and a 2.4kWh Pylontech US2000C battery. The Tubular 1.15kW Solar System uses an Inverex Veyron II 1.2kW inverter and an AGS SP-200 battery for a lower upfront cost. For a portable option, a power station such as the EcoFlow RIVER 2 can also be charged from a small folding panel.
Buying tips for small solar plates
- Check the real wattage with a simple test in full sun; small panels are often over-rated.
- Look for a junction box with diodes and good cables.
- Use a charge controller sized for the panel current.
- Avoid second-hand panels with cracks, burn marks or yellowed backsheets.
- Keep the cable from panel to battery short and thick enough to limit losses.
