Background
•
•
•
•
India is full of Solar Energy. Solar thermal & Photovoltaic
are two routes of taping energy.
Photovoltaic makes sense where electricity is required for
lighting & power applications
Solar thermal is viable where fuel oil or electricity is being
used for heating & cooling applications
Technologies in promotion in India include :
 Solar water heating systems
 Solar air heating systems/ Driers
 Concentrating Solar Technologies (CST)
• CST models are finding good market after achieving
success in low temperature technologies

Concentrating Solar Technologies
Potential : Over 15 million tones of fuel oil/ yr being consumed
for generating heat below 250C in industries & 5000 trillion
units of electricity for heating water & air in different sectors
Applications
•
Cooking in homes & kitchens of residential schools &
colleges, hospitals, Prisons, Defense/ Railway
establishments, religious ashrams & industrial canteens
•
Process heat applications in industries e.g Textiles, Food
processing, Dairy, Leather, Pharmaceutical etc
•
Space cooling in all commercial & institutional establishments
where power cuts are high & fuel oil being used for cooling

Intervention of
UNDP-GEF CSH Project
(2012-2017)
Creating awareness & confidence among users through
 Market development programmes
 Video films & Case studies on successful projects
 Monthly Newsletter www.insolthermtimes.in
& Quarterly magazine on CSTs
 National Toll free Helpline 1800 2 33 44 77
 Specific website on CSTs www.cshindia.in
 Information for users on suitability of technology
including cost & payback
 Developing Demonstration projects in various sectors
Ensuring quality through
 Development of Test Standards & Test Protocols
 Training programme & Manuals on ‘ O, M & Trouble shooting’
Electronic Newsletter & Magazine

Recommendations
• SWHs is a commercially viable technology & do not require any
financial support except loans in some cases. All models work
satisfactorily.
• Among CSTs, Dish cookers may have good market in smaller cities &
towns facing difficulty in getting LPG. NGOs & local entrepreneurs
could take initiative.
• CSTs for community cooking & process heat applications may be
installed in cluster to reduce cost & O&M problems after
identifying some manufacturers
• Some successful projects need to be demonstrated & publicized
through video films to develop confidence among potential users
• Mirror is the crucial part of CSTs. Quality needs to be ensured
through standards & performance guaranty given by manufacturers
• Information tools e.g Toll free helpline, newsletter, video films &
dedicated website are very useful for promoting ST devices
