Solar Panels: To promote solar energy, the government is making many efforts and is coming up with new schemes. In such a situation, the government runs a solar rooftop subsidy scheme under which the government gives subsidy to the customers for installing solar panels on their roof. The environment is also protected by the use of solar energy.
