Let’s be real: if you live in Punjab and you haven’t looked into the CM Solar Scheme, you’re either living under a rock—or under a UPS that’s been beeping for three hours straight. Load-shedding isn’t just back in 2025, it’s back with a vengeance. And this time, the Punjab government’s stepping in with something that’s got everyone talking: free solar panels for homes under the Chief Minister’s Solar Scheme.
Now before you get too excited and start picturing your house glowing like Dubai at night, here’s what you need to know—and how to actually apply before the window closes.
The CM Solar Scheme 2025 is a government-backed initiative aimed at helping low and middle-income households shift to solar energy. It’s NOT for everyone, and it’s NOT a scam. It’s real. But the number of systems is limited, and the process is more selective than a rishta auntie choosing a groom.
👉 Here’s how the scheme works: The Punjab government, through various energy departments and possibly with support from foreign donors, will provide free solar panel kits (typically 1kW–3kW) to eligible households. These kits usually include:
-
✅ Solar panels
-
✅ Inverter (usually grid-tied or hybrid)
-
✅ Basic mounting and installation
-
✅ Battery in some cases (but don’t count on it)
But here’s the catch—you must qualify. This isn’t a free-for-all.
Who’s eligible for the CM Solar Scheme?
-
Residents of Punjab only
-
Monthly electricity bill under Rs. 10,000 (some sources say even Rs. 7,000)
-
Must own the home or have permanent residence status
-
CNIC and utility bill history required
-
Preference given to widows, differently-abled persons, and those in remote/rural areas
