In the initial phase, the government aims to provide free solar systems to 100,000 households. Each solar system will be tagged with a unique barcode to prevent resale.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister’s Roshan Gharana Programme is scheduled for launch on Independence Day, August 14. Households consuming up to 200 units of electricity per month will receive the solar panels at no cost.
For those using between 200-500 units monthly, solar panels will be available at just 10% of their cost, with the remaining amount subsidized by the Punjab government. Payments for these panels will be interest-free and spread over five years.
