About SOFAR
SolarBazaar lists 11 products from SOFAR, concentrated in inverters. Every listing on this page is drawn from the same catalogue, so the specifications, categories and prices below can be compared directly against any other brand in the directory.
All 11 listings sit in a single category, Inverters, so SOFAR is a focused supplier rather than a full-system brand. If you are specifying a complete installation you will be pairing these with equipment from other manufacturers, which makes compatibility checks — voltage, current and communication protocol — worth doing before you commit.
Listed SOFAR prices run from ₨ 242,850 to ₨ 1,112,000 (PKR), which reflects the spread between the brand's entry-level units and its largest or most feature-complete models. Prices are indicative and move with supply, import duties and exchange rates — use them to compare brands, not as a quotation.
Across those listings we hold 112 published specifications, including Weight, Dimensions, Efficiency, Type and Operating Temperature. Where a manufacturer publishes a figure, it appears on the product page as a field you can compare, rather than being buried in a datasheet.
What SOFAR makes: Inverters explained
An inverter converts the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels and stored in batteries into the alternating current (AC) that household appliances, pumps and the utility grid actually use.
It is the component that decides what a solar system can do: how much power you can draw at once, whether you can export to the grid, whether the system keeps running in a blackout, and how well the panels and battery are managed day to day.
- continuous AC output in kW, which caps the load you can run at once
- surge or peak rating, which covers the brief inrush of motors and compressors
- maximum PV input and the number of MPPT trackers, which set how many panel strings you can connect
- the MPPT voltage window, which decides how many panels go in a string
- peak and weighted (European/CEC) efficiency, typically 96–98.5%
How to choose an inverter
The guidance below applies to any inverter, SOFAR's included. Work through it against the specifications listed on this page before you compare prices — a cheaper unit that does not fit your voltages, currents or protocols costs more in the end.
- Match the battery communication protocol (CAN bus or RS485) between inverter and battery. Compatible voltages are not enough; without a supported protocol the battery management system and inverter cannot agree on charge limits.
- Look at the warranty term and what it covers. Five years is the common baseline, ten is offered by stronger brands, and extensions are often cheaper bought with the unit than later.
- Size the inverter against the loads you need to run simultaneously, not against the total wattage of every appliance in the building — a 5 kW inverter comfortably runs a fridge, fans, lights and a couple of ACs, but not all of them plus a water pump starting at the same time.
- Keep the panel array between roughly 1.0 and 1.3 times the inverter's rating. Slight oversizing (a higher DC-to-AC ratio) captures more energy on cloudy mornings and winter days; going far beyond it wastes generation through clipping.
- Check the surge rating if you run motors — deep-well pumps, compressors and older air conditioners can draw two to three times their running current for a few seconds at start-up.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Buying on peak-watt price alone. A cheap inverter with a narrow MPPT window forces awkward string layouts and can strand a portion of the array.
- Ignoring the ambient temperature rating. Inverters derate in heat, so a unit rated 5 kW at 25 °C may deliver noticeably less on a hot roof-adjacent wall at 45 °C.
- Assuming any grid-tie inverter keeps the lights on during an outage. Standard on-grid units shut down for safety unless they have a dedicated backup or islanding output.
Buying SOFAR in Pakistan
Product availability on SolarBazaar is scoped by country, so this page shows the SOFAR range listed for Pakistan plus any items published globally. Switching country in the header changes both the catalogue and the currency prices are quoted in.
SolarBazaar is a comparison directory rather than a shop: we publish specifications, prices and documentation so you can shortlist equipment, then buy from a local distributor or installer. That matters for warranty — cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports SOFAR in Pakistan before ordering.
If you are still shortlisting, Growatt, 1ON, Cherry and Cherry Sparrow are listed in the same category and can be compared against SOFAR spec by spec.
SOFAR — frequently asked questions
How many SOFAR products are listed on SolarBazaar?
11 products, spread across 1 category: 11 inverters. The count reflects what is listed for the country you are browsing, so it changes if you switch country.
What does SOFAR make?
SOFAR's listed range is entirely inverters. An inverter converts the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels and stored in batteries into the alternating current (AC) that household appliances, pumps and the utility grid actually use.
How much do SOFAR products cost?
Listed SOFAR products run from ₨ 242,850 to ₨ 1,112,000 (PKR), depending on capacity and model. Prices are indicative and change with supply, duties and exchange rates, so treat them as a comparison reference rather than a quotation.
Is SOFAR a good brand?
SolarBazaar does not rank manufacturers editorially — we publish the specifications so you can judge them against your own requirements. For SOFAR, the practical checks are the topology — on-grid, off-grid, hybrid or micro, continuous AC output in kW, which caps the load you can run at once and surge or peak rating, which covers the brief inrush of motors and compressors, and whether the warranty is serviceable in Pakistan. A brand with strong specifications and no local support presence is often the more expensive choice over a system's life.
Where can I buy SOFAR products in Pakistan?
SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and prices here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer in Pakistan — that route keeps the manufacturer's warranty intact, which direct grey-market imports usually do not.
