Evaluation of Solar Thermal

Evaluation of Solar Thermal Demonstration Project in 4 states of India

The project was awarded by MNRE. The MNRE had provided the villages’ residents in four states namely Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Gujarat, with solar cookers and solar water heaters. Overall the users of solar thermal products were satisfied. 90% of users felt that food cooked with solar cookers tasted better and good for the health. They were happy that solar cooker did not require fuel, and needed little maintenance. They were aware that solar system had long operational life, can be used during day, but also depends on the seasons.

Survey and evaluation project of remote village area electrification through solar photo-voltaic system in the state of Rajasthan and Haryana

The project was awarded by MNRE. The MNRE had provided the residents of remote villages of India, which could not be covered by national power grid, with solar home lighting systems and solar street light systems. It was observed that target oriented approach was followed during implementation. During implementation by parties, MNRE guidelines were not adhered to in totality by implementing agencies. Approximately 15% of the systems were found to be non functional. Maintenance and service support from equipment suppliers desired improvements.

Evaluation of Solar Photovoltaic Program in 6 states of India

The project was awarded by MNRE. The MNRE had provided the villages’ residents in six states namely Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Manipur & Karnataka, with solar home lighting systems, solar water pumps, solar lanterns and solar street light systems. The Study was structured on field visit based verification and collection of beneficiary level information; on functioning and maintenance of systems, and satisfaction level of beneficiaries. The life-style of beneficiaries has changed gradually following work done under the scheme. The benefits accrued were, working hours for useful tasks have increased, study hours of children increased, consumption of kerosene declined, environmental accidents such as snake and insect bites declined. Beneficiaries have started using mobile phones, radios, telephones etc.
