India is gifted with abundant solar resources. However, 90% of urban residents in western India use electricity to heat water. This accounts for 20% to 30% of electricity consumption, which causes a huge financial burden to the families and emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. In a country with about 300 cleary sunny days per year, dependence on electricity from fossil fuels represents a major waste of energy.

SWH are not widely used due to the low electricity prices, comparable to the cheap cost of electric water heaters. The distribution of SWH requires constant awareness raising campaigns and the education of people, who often do not trust on non-electric solutions.
