Exploring Punjab Solar Panel Scheme 2024

The Punjab Government has finalized the pilot project phase of the Punjab Solar Panel Scheme. The initiative, spearheaded by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif and supported by a hefty budget of 30 billion rupees, aims to provide free solar systems to households in Punjab consuming under 200 units of electricity monthly.

Following the completion of the pilot project, the distribution of solar panels to eligible families will commence shortly. To avail of this opportunity, ensure your registration is complete. Eligible households are those consuming less than 200 units of electricity per month. Moreover, households exceeding this limit can benefit from interest-free loans furnished by the Punjab government to procure solar systems.
