What is a Free Solar Panel Scheme?
In this scheme the farmer can rent out 1/3 of his farm for installing solar panels. Instead, private companies will pay them Rs 1 lakh per acre. Under the scheme, the farmer will lease his farm to the company for 25 years. In the meantime the company will pay regularly every year. So after 25 years, the companies will give Rs 4 lakh per acre to the farmers. This will quadruple their earnings.

Earnings can also be made by selling electricity
The solar panel scheme is also beneficial for farmers whose land is barren and dry. They can generate electricity from solar energy by installing solar panels on the land and also earn money every month by selling it to various government and non-government power companies. One megawatt solar plant requires 6 acres of land. It can also generate 13 lakh units of electricity. The farmer can also make a good profit by selling it. You can also avail the benefits by registering under the Prime Minister's Solar Panel Scheme.
