Promotion of Solar Water Heating in the Tourism Industry in Himachal Pradesh by

HIMURJA

The Government of Himachal Pradesh has given significant importance for the development of renewable energy sources in the State, through HIMURJA. Himachal Pradesh endorses the National Policy for promoting clean and environment friendly technologies for exploiting the available power potential.

Govt. of HP has issued notification, dated 05/12/2009 through Deptt. of MPP & Power under Section 18 of Energy Conservation Act 2001 for use of energy & its conservation in the State of H.P. Salient features of notification are as under:Mandatory use of CFL and T-5 (28 W) Tube Lights. Mandatory use of Energy Efficient Street Lights. Mandatory/optional use of Solar Water Heating Systems (SWHS). Mandatory use of ISI/BIS marked Motor Pumps Sets, Power Capacitor, Foot/Reflex Valves in Agriculture Sector. Promotion of Energy Building Design.

Industries where hot water is required for processing. All Govt./Private 50 bedded and above Hospitals and Nursing homes, Hotels/Motels with 15 rooms or more and Banquet Halls. Jails New Housing Complexes/Colonies set up by Group Housing Societies/HIMUDA/Govt. and Private Builders. All residential Schools/Colleges Hostels/ Technical/ Vocational Education Institutes, District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) and Universities etc.

Optional use of Solar Water Heating Systems

All residential buildings built on a plot size of 500 square yards and above falling within the limits of municipal committees/corporations and Himachal Urban Development Authority Sectors.

Promotion of Energy Efficient Building Design

All residential buildings to be constructed in the Government/Government Aided Sector will incorporate energy efficient building design concepts including Renewable Energy Technologies with effect from 01/04/2010. The Architecture Wing of PWD or similar wings/cells of other departments/Corporations will ensure the incorporation of energy efficient building design concepts in all buildings to be constructed in future in the Govt./Govt. aided sector.

As per notification of H.P. Govt. HIMURJA is the authorized approved Agency to short list reputed public and private sector companies/firms to ensure optimally designed quality systems for the supply and installation of SWHS as per MNRE specifications. All the line departments like Town and Country Planning Deptt., Urban Development Deptt., Public Works Deptt., Housing Board and Public Health Deptt. will amend their rules/bye laws within a specified period to make the use of solar water heating systems mandatory.

ROLE OF HIMURJA & PRESENT STATUS

Promoting and Providing Solar Water Heating Systems in the State to the individuals and other Institutions. Process cases for capital subsidy after sanction from MNRE, GOI. Upto date installation of Solar Water Heating Systems is 7,44,300 LPD since inception.

Solar Hot Water System turns cold water into hot water with the help of suns rays. Around 60 deg. to 80 deg. C temperature can be attained depending on solar radiation, weather conditions and solar collector system efficiency Hot water for homes, hostels, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, dairies, industries etc Can be installed on roof tops, building terrace and open ground where there is no shading, south orientation of collectors and over head tank above Solar Water Heating system

SWH system generates hot water on clear sunny days (maximum), partially clouded (moderate) but not in rainy or heavy overcast day Only soft and potable water can be used Stainless Steel is used for small tanks where Mild Steel tanks with anti-corrosion coating inside are used for large tanks Solar water heating system of 100-300 litres capacity are suited for domestic application. Larger systems can be used in restaurants, guest houses, hotels, hospitals, industries etc.

Sunny Days:In H.P. there are more than 280-300 sunny days with bright sun-shine through out the year and there is requirement of hot water in almost all parts of the state throughout the year. Fuel Savings: A 100 litres capacity of Solar Water Heating Systems can replace an electric geyser for residential use and saves upto 1500 units of electricity approximate annually. Avoided utility cost on generation : The use of 1000 nos. Solar water heating systems of 100 litres capacity each, can contribute to a peak load saving of 1 MW, assuming that 50% of the Electrical Geysers, each of 2 KW capacity are in use during peak hours.

Environmental benefits:A Solar water heating system of 100 litres capacity can prevent emission of 1.5 tonnes of carbon-dioxide per year. Life : 15 to 20 years

Approximate cost:
i) Flat Flat type : Around Rs.25,400/- to 28,900/- for a 100 litres capacity of solar water heating systems depending upon type and location of systems. ii) ETC type : Around Rs.15,000/- to 23,000/- for a 100 litres capacity of solar water heating systems depending upon type and location of systems.

Payback period : 3-4 years when electricity is replaced 4-5 years when furnace oil is replaced 5-7 years when coal is replaced Though the initial investment for a solar water heating system is high compared to available conventional alternatives, the return on investment has become increasingly attractive with the increase of conventional energy and financial incentives.

Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission has been launched by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). As per Sr. No. 5.3 of the guidelines circulated by Ministry vide No.5/23/2009-P&C dated 16.06.2010, Himachal Pradesh falls under special category states and is eligible for funding of 60% capital subsidy under Solar Thermal applications.
