KP Government Solar Scheme 2024: Affordable Solar Energy for Rs 7,000
The KP Government’s 2024 solar scheme promises a substantial subsidy, making solar systems available for just Rs 7,000 per household. Applicants who are also part of the 8171 Ehsaas Program and meet the eligibility requirements will have a higher chance of being selected for the solar system installation.
Solar Energy: A Practical Solution to Rising Electricity Costs
Given the increasing cost of electricity, solar energy is the most practical solution. The KP Government, alongside initiatives in Punjab and Sindh, is committed to providing solar panels to those in need.
