Importance of Consumer satisfaction in solar water heater business

     Consider consumer electronics sector where competition is about to neck to neck, from small company to giant one, everyone want to achieve consumers attention.  Whether they are selling Smartphone or double door fridge, price may be ranging from 10k to 40k. They are trying to maintain same relation with every customer regardless there earning potential. They are spending lots of money on their customer care center, trying to minimizing there manufacturing, designing, material errors by finding patterns in problems which faced by customer.

     Though Electronics products are delicate to use and their life time depends on user handling, we have to empathize on a thing that they are indoor product. They hardly affected by dust, weather condition, heavy rain & unexpected mechanical damages. There operating conditions are same every day. This is the main differentiating point with outdoor products like solar water heater, solar panel, automobile, water pump & outdoor machinery.

      Now the point is that if all those electronic companies can afford to spend lots of money on their consumer care policies. Then why we are still waiting to apply same or little more intensive program in solar water heater sector.  If we are selling products of 30k and above then we should have strong foundation of consumer concentric department which are capable in dealing with every production aspect related to consumer.

Solar start ups

What a tremendous force of start ups are lifting solar energy worldwide!!! This is ranging from technological development in manufacturing of photo-voltaic panels to the triple coating vacuum tubes in water heating system. Advance technological development and socio-economical aspects should go hand by hand. New generation is taking this convoluted opportunity by standing confront of conventional odds by creating frugal way to tap solar energy in their arms. They are not only making social impact but also generating handsome profit in marginal sections. This new era of companionship with sun is the only solution to the brighter future.

IT has been announced that 54 cities in India will be designated "Solar Cities". In related news, grid connected photovoltaic projects worth 1.04 GW are said to have been commissioned under the first phase of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM).

     The Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Farooq Abdullah has given, "in-principle", approval to the development of 54 solar cities.

      Overall, 8 master plans are said to have been approved for eight cities – Agra and Moradabad from Uttar Pradesh; Thane and Kalyan-Dombivli from Maharashtra; Indore from Madhya Pradesh; Kohima from Nagaland; and Aizawl from Mizoramand Chandigarh – and the development of projects is reportedly underway. A further 20 draft master plans have been developed. According to a statement released, a total of Rs. 19.23 crore (around €2.6 million, US$3.5 million) has been approved for the preparation of master plans, solar city cells and promotional activities for 41 cities. A further Rs. 11.98 crore has been allocated for the execution of renewable energy projects in five cities.

         The minister added that eligible cities must have a population between 50,000 and five million, although "relaxation" will be given to special category states, including north east states.In related news, the minister has said that a total of 1.04 GW worth of grid connected photovoltaic projects and 160.8 MW of off-grid systems have been commissioned under the first phase of the JNNSM, between January 2010 and March 2013.Overall, the total installed capacity of renewable energy in India is said to be 26.267 GW. Under the country’s 12th plan period (2012 to 2017), a further 30 GW is expected to be added. "While cost of power generation from wind, biomass and small hydro are comparable with cost of power from conventional sources, solar power may take some more time to achieve grid parity," said the ministry in a statement released.
