Will the electricity bill be zero?
In a house of 2 rooms, generally there are 3-4 bulbs of 10 watt, 2 fans, and a fridge. Geyser or electric rod is used to heat water in winter. Generally the rod is of 1000 watts and geysers also start from 1000 watts. Even 4 bulbs of 10-10 watts consume electricity. A single door fridge with 5 star rating consumes at least 1 unit of electricity in 24 hours.
Experts who know about power consumption say that if any device of 1000 watts runs for 1 hour, it consumes 1 unit of power. Depending on the condition of the device, it may be slightly less or slightly more. In such a situation, a small bulb of 0.3 watt will reduce the electricity bill to zero by running it with solar light, how can anyone even think that. So it is proved that that news is completely baseless.

Electricity will be free if solar panels are installed!
In the same news, it has been said that even big household appliances can be run for free after installing a big solar panel. For example, it has been said to run AC, fridge, cooler, television, motor and fan for free. By doing this, even 1 rupee electricity bill will not come.
As easy as it is to say, it is actually more difficult. To run appliances like AC, fridge, cooler on solar lights, a solar system of at least 5 kW will have to be installed. If it is installed by a private company, it will cost at least 5 lakhs in one go. Application can be made by visiting the official website of the government www.solarrooftop.gov.in. If you find the expenses high and you cannot pay at once, then different financial institutions provide loans, which have to be repaid in easy installments.
Overall, it can be said that a 0.3 watt bulb costing Rs 417 and 50 paise cannot reduce your electricity bill even by Rs 10.
