Jawaharlal Nehru
National Solar Mission
• Objective of the National Solar Mission is to establish India as a
global leader in Solar Energy, by creating the policy conditions for its
diffusion across the country as quickly as possible.
• The immediate aim of the Mission is to focus on setting up an
enabling environment for solar technology penetration in the country
both at a centralized and decentralized level.
• In Phase I (up to 2013) will focus on
– capturing of the low hanging options in solar thermal;
– on promoting off-grid systems to serve populations without
access to commercial energy and
– modest capacity addition in grid-based systems.
• In Phase 2, after taking into account the experience of the initial
years, capacity will be aggressively ramped up to create conditions
for up scaled and competitive solar energy penetration in the country.

Solar Water Heaters
Over 20000 domestic & industrial solar water heating systems have
been installed in Gujarat in last decade totaling to daily capacity of 100120 lakh litre per day.
Acceptance of Solar Water Heaters has been best amongst other Solar
Energy Systems and the market has developed on the basis of the
strength of the product.
