Free Solarization Program
The Punjab Free Solarization Program, spearheaded by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is a transformative initiative aimed at converting 80,000 petrol and diesel-powered tube wells to solar energy. This project is designed to support farmers by offering them free solar panels for their tube wells, reducing their dependence on costly and polluting fossil fuels. Farmers can receive solar panels with different capacities—10 kW, 15 kW, or 20 kW—based on their specific needs.
The program offers a sustainable solution that enhances agricultural productivity while reducing operational costs. This article provides an overview of the eligibility criteria, the registration process, and details on how to apply for the program, whether online or offline. Interested farmers must complete their applications before the December 31 deadline to benefit from the initiative.
