CM Punjab Solar Panel Scheme All About?
The Roshan Gharana Program is more than just a subsidy or temporary relief. It’s a long-term solution that empowers underprivileged families with independent, clean, and sustainable energy. The project provides entire households with solar systems designed to fulfill their basic electricity needs—such as powering fans, lights, and small appliances.
This is not a partial setup. Each approved household receives:
- ✅ Two solar panels (300W each)
- ✅ A 150Ah or higher-capacity battery
- ✅ A 1.5KW inverter
- ✅ All wiring and mounting hardware included
This setup is enough to help a small family run their daily essential appliances without the stress of monthly bills. And all of it—completely free of cost.

Main Objectives of the Scheme
The Punjab Solar Panel Scheme is grounded in two major goals:
- Financial Relief for Low-Income Families
Many poor families in Punjab rely on basic electric appliances but face major problems due to high bills. This scheme helps reduce their expenses by offering a one-time solar system installation. - Promoting Green Energy
By turning homes into mini solar-powered units, the government is easing pressure on the national grid and encouraging the use of renewable energy, which in turn helps reduce environmental pollution and carbon emissions.
