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.

Over ONE LAKH Solar Cookers have been

distributed in Gujarat under State Subsidy Scheme in last 20

years.

Solar Water Heaters

Over 20000 domestic & industrial solar water heating systems have been installed in Gujarat in last decade totaling to daily capacity of 100-120 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.

Solar Air Heating Systems have found some scattered acceptance in

food and dyestuff industries.

Solar Industries have built capacities for designing and fabricating tailor made

systems.

Solar Steam Generating Systems

have been applied for community cooking and industrial low

pressure steam applications.

About 10 Steam Cooking Systems have been installed in Gujarat – for cooking 1000 – 2000 meals per day.

Solar PV Systems especially lighting in remote un-

electrified areas have been successfully deployed barring high capital cost, maintenance

and after-sales service problems.Solar off-grid systems – like solar

pumping system, streetlight, homelights have been promoted

with heavy subsidy.

State: Solar Power Policy

• Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) – Target – 1000 approx MW. – PPA* @Rs.15/- per unit for first 12 years and

@Rs.5/- for next 13 years– PPA* signed for 971.50 MW with 83 companies

to be commissioned by December 2011 end– Period of PPA – 25 years

• 600 MW Plants installed as on date• Govt would be spending about 1600 crores

for 1080 MU generated by 600 MW Solar Power Plants in Gujarat

* PPA – Power Purchase Agreement

Barriers & Bottlenecks

• High initial cost and replacement of costly batteries in off-grid systems

• Sense of ownership – poor maintenance• Lack of user awareness & training• Poor after sales service network• Quality of product and assured service life• Failure of SPV systems distributed in

electrified areas• Lack of innovation in application &

promotion
