The CM Punjab Solar Panel Scheme 2025 entered its third phase in August, aiming to provide free solar systems to low-income households across Punjab. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, this initiative is bringing real change by empowering people with clean and affordable electricity.
Roshan Gharana Program – A Step Toward Energy Independence
This solar scheme is officially known as the Roshan Gharana Program, a project designed to make Punjab energy-efficient and reduce the financial burden on the public. Unlike earlier energy subsidies, which often failed due to poor execution, this initiative focuses on long-term impact, transparency, and technological support. The aim is not just to provide free electricity but to help families become independent in powering their homes.
What Does Each Household Receive?
Every selected household will receive a complete solar setup that includes:
- 2 Solar Panels
- One 150Ah Battery or higher
- Inverter with 1.5KW capacity
- Full installation with wiring
This basic system is enough to run essential household appliances like fans, lights, mobile chargers, and even small fridges. It’s a thoughtful package, especially for families living in areas with frequent load shedding or high electricity bills.

Solar Scheme Phase 3 Begins – August 2025 Distribution Update
The third phase of the Roshan Gharana Solar Scheme officially launched in August 2025. This phase aims to cover thousands of new households in previously uncovered districts.
Some of the key cities included in this phase are:
- Sahiwal
- Sargodha
- Okara
- Bhakkar
This phase builds on the success of earlier rollouts and ensures that every deserving family gets access to solar energy. From the start in 2024, the scheme has expanded steadily with each phase covering more districts and improving distribution logistics.
Who Qualifies for the Free Solar Panel Setup?
To make sure only deserving families benefit, the government has defined clear and fair eligibility criteria:
- Electricity usage should be below 300 units/month
- The CNIC (ID card) must match the name on the electricity bill
- Only residential homes are eligible (no shops or offices)
The focus is on helping underprivileged families who struggle with high utility bills. If your electricity usage is minimal and you live in a qualifying district, this could be your chance to switch to solar for free.
