What Is Meezan Bank Solar Financing?
Meezan Bank, Pakistan’s leading Islamic bank, is offering Shariah-compliant solar financing under its “Apni Bijli” initiative. Through this scheme, individuals can install solar systems at home without paying the full amount upfront. Instead, the bank offers flexible monthly installments – making green energy more accessible and affordable. This financing is based on the Islamic concept of Diminishing Musharakah. It means the bank and customer jointly purchase the asset (solar system) and gradually, the customer buys back the bank’s share over time through installments.
