The Chief Minister Punjab Free Solar Panel Scheme is a powerful initiative aiming to make Pakistan more sustainable by promoting solar energy. Growing up, I saw families struggle with rising electricity bills, but this program now offers real relief. By helping homes shift to solar, it not only saves money but also helps contribute to a cleaner environment and a greener future. It’s more than just free panels—it’s long-term change, empowering households across the province.
