Good news for thousands of waiting applicants. Punjab extends free solar panel scheme deadline by six months until December 2026. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz ordered the extension. The revised plan will provide more than 94,000 solar systems at an estimated cost of nearly 10 billion rupees.

The scheme distributes solar systems free of cost to low income consumers through a balloting process. Officials report that over 800,000 applications have already been received. That is far more than originally anticipated.

The program was previously scheduled to run until June 2026. The government has allocated additional funding to distribute more systems across all districts and tehsils. Every corner of the province will receive coverage.

For low income families struggling with electricity bills, solar power reduces monthly costs and provides energy independence. Punjab extends free solar panel scheme deadline, giving more families a chance to benefit. If you applied already, stay patient. The balloting process will determine who receives the next batch of systems.
