Rising electricity bills and frequent load-shedding have made daily life difficult for many families in Punjab. To provide long-term relief, the Punjab Free Solar Panel Scheme 2026 has been introduced as a province-wide initiative focused on clean energy, affordability, and household stability. Under this program, eligible households can receive a complete solar power system that significantly reduces dependence on grid electricity.
This scheme is designed especially for low- and middle-income families who want a permanent solution instead of temporary subsidies.
What Is the Punjab Free Solar Panel Scheme 2026?
The Punjab Free Solar Panel Scheme 2026 is a government-supported program that provides complete rooftop solar systems to qualifying households either free of cost or at a highly subsidized rate. The goal is to cut electricity expenses, reduce pressure on the national grid, and move Punjab toward renewable energy.
Unlike short-term relief packages, this scheme offers lasting monthly savings and protection from power outages.
