The Punjab government has initiated a groundbreaking scheme to promote solar energy usage across the province. Spearheaded by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the ‘Chief Minister Roshan Gharana’ program aims to distribute 50,000 solar home systems through a ballot system. Solar energy, abundant and clean, offers both heat and light. Through photovoltaic technology, sunlight is converted into electricity, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly energy source.
