3rd April, 2012VIKSAT, Ahmedabad7/28 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.

3rd April, 2012VIKSAT, Ahmedabad8/28 Over ONE LAKH Solar Cookers have been distributed in Gujarat under State Subsidy Scheme in last 20 years.

3rd April, 2012VIKSAT, Ahmedabad9/28 Solar Water Heaters Over domestic & industrial solar water heating systems have been installed in Gujarat in last decade totaling to daily capacity of 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.

3rd April, 2012VIKSAT, Ahmedabad10/28 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.
