Solar Thermal: Market (2014 & 2032)
Zone I - Solar resource is adequately available year round.
Zone II - Adequate solar radiation but requirement limited
to 4 months
Zone III - 6 months of hot water requirement but poor solar
radiation during the peak winter
Zone IV - Low hot water requirement and poor solar
radiation.
Zone V – Year round hot water demand and adequate solar
radiation.

Solar Thermal: Investment Opportunities
8
Total investment required (2015 – 2032) in solar thermal sector is ~US$ 30 billion out of which around US$ 500 million is required for manufacturing and assembly.
-
Solar PV products: Market Segments
• Household Applications – 180 million households have poor
access to electricity
– Govt. is spending US$ 5.1 billion on kerosene subsidy
• Water pumps for irrigation – 8 million diesel pumps and 10-12
million electric pumps are in operation
– Subsidy on electricity for water pumping is expected to reach US$ 50 billion by 2021-22

Off-grid Solar PV accounts for 4-10% of the annual Solar PV installations. If 10 % of
the 100 GW target is met by off-grid solar PV systems, the investment
requirement in off-grid solar PV system is estimated at around 50-70 billion US$
by 2022
-
Conclusions
• Enormous social and economic benefits of off-grid systems
• The potential is high – Solar thermal installed capacity could reach ~ 15GWth by
2022 and 100 GWth by 2032.
– Off-grid solar PV installed capacity could reach around 10 GWp by 2022
• The market is diverse and dispersed, efforts are needed for:– Customising and developing products for specific needs
– Sales and supply network
– Ensuring quality products
– Making available access to finance
