Karachi Gymkhana is a working club with members on site every day of the week, which shaped the project as much as any technical requirement. Installation had to proceed across occupied buildings, around events, without scaffolding appearing where members walk and without a single day’s closure.

The 250 kW array generates roughly 33,300 units a month against a load profile — kitchens, lighting, air conditioning across multiple halls — that runs heaviest through exactly the hours the array is producing. For an institution that answers to a committee rather than a single owner, the decision rested as much on the quality of the structure and the service commitment behind it as on the payback figure.
