The GFE Difference

What Turnkey EPC Means for You

EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction. When you sign with GFE, you get one contract, one team, and one throat to grab if anything goes wrong. You do not manage multiple vendors, chase permits, or coordinate between a designer who has never been on site and a contractor who never read the design.

Our in-house team handles every phase: site feasibility, shadow analysis, system design, equipment procurement from Tier-1 global brands, civil works, electrical installation, grid interconnection, and final commissioning.

This model is why our clients return to us for their next facility before the first one's warranty period is even half over.

How It Works

Our EPC Process

Site Assessment

Roof or ground survey, structural load checks, shadow analysis, consumption profile review, and grid-connection assessment. You get a clear picture of what the site can support and realistic yield — not a sales-only estimate.

System Design

Professional simulation for your load profile, layout drawings, Tier-1 equipment specs, and P50/P90 yield estimates. Inclination and structure type are set for your city wind loads and site geometry — not a one-size template.

Net Metering / DISCO Application

GFE manages the full interconnection and net-metering or net-billing file with LESCO, FESCO, PESCO, HESCO, MEPCO, and other DISCOs. Most clients never need to visit a DISCO office — we handle documentation, follow-ups, and approvals as part of EPC scope.

Installation

Civil foundations or roof mounting (FERO structures), DC/AC cabling, inverter and protection installation, and switchboard interconnection — all to IEC practice with photographic documentation.

Commissioning

String testing, protection checks, and loaded run before handover. You receive a commissioning report with measured vs expected performance, plus first-year monitoring support.

System Options

Systems We Design & Install

Grid-Tied Systems

50 kW to 10 MW+

The most common configuration for commercial and industrial clients. Directly offsets grid consumption during daylight hours. Net metering enables export revenue where applicable. Lowest capital cost per kW.

Best for: Factories, warehouses, hospitals, universities with consistent daytime load

Hybrid Systems

30 kW to 2 MW

Combines solar generation with battery storage and grid connection. Allows load shifting, backup power during outages, and peak demand shaving. Ideal for clients with critical loads or high after-hours consumption.

Best for: Data centres, cold storage, healthcare facilities requiring 24/7 uptime

Off-Grid Systems

5 kW to 500 kW

Fully independent from the national grid. Designed with battery banks and backup generation for complete energy autonomy. Most applicable in remote locations where grid connection is unavailable or expensive.

Best for: Remote agricultural facilities, telecom towers, rural commercial operations

Every GFE system is built on mounting structures manufactured in-house by FERO. Need storage as well? See BESS Design & Integration — the same EPC accountability model for battery systems. Browse completed solar installations.

Pakistan-specific

City and DISCO considerations

Punjab (LESCO / FESCO / MEPCO)

Most GFE C&I volume sits here. Tilt is typically set for Lahore–Faisalabad–Multan latitude bands; DISCO file work follows each utility's net-metering / net-billing process and documentation checklist.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (PESCO)

Industrial and campus sites often need careful shadow and terrain assessment. Interconnection timing and documentation differ from Punjab DISCOs — GFE manages the PESCO path as part of EPC.

Sindh (HESCO / K-Electric where applicable)

Karachi and interior Sindh sites bring coastal corrosion and heat considerations for structure and equipment selection, plus utility-specific interconnection rules on the application path.

Why Choose Us

Why Clients Choose GFE

250+ Completed Projects

We have commissioned more solar plants in Pakistan than most companies have quoted. That experience means fewer surprises, faster delivery, and better outcomes.

100 MW Installed Capacity

From 50 kW rooftops to 5 MW utility installations — our engineers have designed and built at every scale. Your project size is not a challenge for us.

Tier-1 Equipment Only

We do not cut corners on equipment. Every GFE project uses bankable, Tier-1 rated panels and inverters with full manufacturer warranties.

Single Point of Accountability

One contract, one team, one point of contact. If anything is not right, you call us — not five different vendors pointing fingers at each other.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial solar project cost in Pakistan?

Commercial solar project costs vary by system size, site conditions, and equipment grade. For industrial systems above 100kW, installed costs typically range from PKR 80 to 120 per watt. GFE provides detailed feasibility studies with exact cost projections before any commitment.

How long does installation take from design to commissioning?

A typical commercial or industrial solar project takes 6 to 12 weeks from finalised design to commissioning, depending on system size, site access, DISCO approval timing, and equipment delivery. GFE handles procurement and logistics — you do not need to manage lead times.

Is GFE AEDB certified?

Yes. Green Fuel Energy is AEDB and PPIB certified, PEC C-3 registered, and fully compliant with Pakistan's regulatory requirements for solar EPC contractors. All our engineers hold relevant professional qualifications.

Does GFE handle net metering applications?

Yes. We manage the full net metering / net billing application process with LESCO, FESCO, PESCO, HESCO, MEPCO, and other DISCOs as part of our turnkey EPC scope. Most clients do not need to visit a DISCO office at any point in the process.

What happens after commissioning?

Every GFE project includes one year of complimentary monitoring and post-commissioning support. Ongoing O&M is available on a pay-as-you-go basis — see Solar O&M & Asset Management. For sites that also need storage, see BESS Design & Integration.

Do tilt angles and DISCO rules change by city?

Yes. Inclination and structure design follow local latitude and wind-load practice; interconnection paperwork follows the specific DISCO or utility. GFE sets both during site assessment and design rather than applying a national one-size template.
