Hoteliers can reduce dependency on electricity and cut their power bill by installing solar heaters, Deepak Gupta, secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) said here on Friday.
Shimla: In a bid to harness solar energy in a big way, Himachal Pradesh government has decided to develop Shimla and Hamirpur as
To help in policy development, awareness creation, as well as training and capacity building for solar energy is the main focus of Solar Thermal Federation of India (STFI).
AGARTALA, March 28: The Tripura government has planned to make solar energy tapping provision mandatory in Building Rules for reducing dependency on conventional sources.
<p>This report details trends in the renewable energy sector across the world. Finds that investment in renewable energy power capacity (excluding large hydro) in 2009 was comparable to that in fossil-fuel generation, at around $100 billion each. <br></p>

<p>India is blessed with abundant solar energy. Solar water heater system is a technically proven successful application for use of this energy. However the market for the solar water heater is not yet developed fully.
The objective of this assignment is to develop an Area Based Energy Service Company (ESCO) Model for Solar Water Heating (SWH) and to assess the potential of Carbon Financing in order to achieve scale in SWH development in the country. In the recent years, India has witnessed considerable progress in SWH development. A total of 3.53 million sq. m.
At present, use of SWH is rather limited and scattered in Indian Himalayas. Most of the existing systems are in commercial and institutional buildings (hotels, resorts, hospitals, defense establishments, etc); in general the use of solar water heaters in the domestic sector is very scarce.
<p>The country-wide Market Assessment Study of Solar Water Heaters carried out in 2009 under the UNDP/GEF Project identified high potential States and Regions. This study focuses on five states/regions which are likely to contribute 49% of the SWH realizable potential up to 2022. These are: Maharashtra, Gujarat, <br /> Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, National Capital Region (NCR).
