If you’ve been selected for the Punjab Free Solar Panel Scheme, congratulations! You’re one step closer to reducing your electricity bills and switching to clean energy. But selection is just the beginning—there are a few important steps you need to take next to make sure you receive your solar panel without any delays.
Step 1: Confirm Your Selection Officially
Even if you’ve heard that your name is on the list, always double-check it through the official source. Here’s how:
-
Visit the official portal: cmsolarscheme.punjab.gov.pk
-
Click on the “Application Result” section.
-
Enter your Bill Reference Number and the Captcha code.
-
Click “Check” to see your selection status.
Once confirmed, you’ll see a message that says you’re eligible.

Step 2: Prepare for Physical Verification
After confirmation, your household will be visited by a verification team from the Punjab government. This is a critical part of the process, so make sure everything is in order:
-
Use under 200 electricity units/month? ✔️
-
Approved load under 2 kW? ✔️
-
No history of unpaid or delayed electricity bills? ✔️
-
No solar system already installed? ✔️
If any of these don’t match, you may lose eligibility—even after selection.
Step 3: Wait for Installation – Timeline and Next Steps
Once your verification is successful, your name is added to the final approved list. Solar panel installation under Phase 1 will begin from the end of March 2025 and will continue till July 2025.
So don’t worry if installation doesn’t happen right away—it’s done area by area. You’ll be notified once your turn comes.
Missed Out This Time? Watch Out for Phase 2
If you weren’t selected in the first draw, there’s still hope! The government has announced a second phase of applications after Phase 1 ends. Stay updated through the official website and prepare early so you don’t miss out next time.
Final Tip: Don’t entertain unofficial calls or messages claiming to offer “priority service” or asking for money. The scheme is 100% free for eligible households.
