CM Punjab Solar Scheme Pakistan (2024) – Step-By-Step Procedure

Pakistan has been facing economic and energy crises for the past few years. Another factor is Pakistan’s overgrowing population, which leads to a rise in energy demand and the cost of electricity. Due to all these problems, the interest of the Pakistani Public is increasing in alternative energy resources known as solar systems.

Solar systems in Pakistan are available at high prices because of the devaluation of currency (PKR) and bad economic conditions. It is difficult for low-income families to purchase the solar system for their homes. In this regard, the Wazir e ala (CM) of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, has taken the initiative of the Roshan Gharana solar scheme. This Roshan Gharana scheme will provide free solar panels to the people of Punjab.

Challenges and how to overcome those challenges

Awareness and Initial Cost

The initial cost of solar systems may still need to be put in reach for many households, even with subsidies.

How to overcome

The Punjab Government should promote solar energy’s advantages, especially in rural areas where residents might need to become more familiar with the technology.

Maintenance of Solar system and Infrastructure

Another challenge with this Roshan Gharana scheme is that solar systems and infrastructure require maintenance for widespread solar adoption.

How to Overcome

Hire high-rated companies or vendors to maintain solar systems.

Future Prospect

After the success of this project, the solar scheme should be launched in other provinces of Pakistan. Furthermore, future developments in solar technology and falling costs will further increase the accessibility of solar energy.

Conclusion
