Good news for consumers as solar panel prices have fallen to their lowest level in history. According to the Pakistani currency, the price of global solar cells is approximately Rs13.50 per watt.
After a continuous decline in prices in the global solar market, stability is now being observed. As a result, this is being considered an ideal time for domestic and commercial users in Pakistan to install solar power systems.
How to get a free solar panel?
The scheme, known as the Roshan Gharana Program, provides free solar systems to Punjab residents who are consuming 0–200 electricity units per month.
Now, the citizens can apply until December this year to benefit from this project.
On the other hand, the provincial government has also increased the budget to facilitate more families across the province amid the rising cost of electricity.
In this scheme, the provincial government will provide free solar systems to poor households with a consumption of 0 to 200 units through a transparent lottery.
Eligibility criteria
Domestic consumers with a monthly consumption of up to 200 units under the following categories are eligible:
- Up to 50 units (Lifeline)
