RE: Focus Sector in Gujarat
Gujarat has the highest solar generation potential in India 300 days of 5.6 to 6.0 kWh/sq.m/day solar radiation.
In Gujarat there is a potential of generating 10000 MW from 1 % of available wasteland.
Share of RE in total energy mix in Gujarat is 17%.
Gujarats share of RE sources in Western Region is 46% and in all India share is 15%
Gujarat is the first state to achieve its RPO target.

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 10000 domestic & industrial solar water heating systems have
been installed in Gujarat in last decade totaling to daily capacity of 50-60
lakh litre have been installed in Gujarat.
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 22 Steam Cooking Systems have
been installed in Gujarat for cooking 10000 20000 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.

50 plants totaling to about
824 MW capacity have been
commissioned in Gujarat
upto December 2012 end.
These plants would annually
generate about1400 MU.

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
