| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Strengthen energy labeling to promote best SWH models |
| 2 | Improve programme management capacity of MNRE through setting up a system for information collection and monitoring energy performance of new SWH installations. |
| 3 | Re-assess and build state and municipal-level capacities to manage JNNSM Phase II SWH installations. |
| 4 | Increase the training of semi-skilled and skilled workers who will be needed for the additional SWH installations to meet the targets of JNNSM, Phase II |
| 5 | Strengthen financial mechanisms for SWH under JNNSM Phase II |
| 6 | Include solar water heaters as an option under the solar specific Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) for industrial consumers with demand exceeding 1 MW |
| 7 | MNRE should provide resources to conduct surveys and develop a 2013 and 2014 baseline for SWH installations in India in the domestic sector. |
