How the transgender community can get the solar panel system

To participate in the free solar program, transgender people must first register. The Punjab government has set up the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) where they can register and become eligible. Interested persons should approach the nearest PSER registration centre with their essential documents including a valid national identity card and mobile phone number.

At the registration centre, the representative will ask you a few questions which must be answered precisely. As part of the registration process, details of health status, personal situation, sources of income, and assets will be collected. If eligible, transgender persons will be notified via SMS on the provided mobile phone number which must be registered in their name.
