| Summary: | Conventional modes of power besides running out are also aggravating the environment. New and
renewable forms of energy are the need of the day. The abundance, inexhaustibility and non-polluting
nature of the sun's energy to the earth, have made solar energy the right supplement for conventional
energy sources, which are getting scarce and exhausted. For proper management of solar energy, private
sector must come foward to take the initiative. A tripartite management system is proposed in this
chapter. The first party of the management system is the supplier/manufacturer of the different
components of the solar power system and is responsible to extend proper training to the personnel of the
third party. The second party of the management system is the bank who will finance the solar power
projects. The third party of the management system is an NGO who has got its network in rural areas and
will be responsible to carry out all the installation work with the help of the first party. They will also be
responsible to collect the loan installments/rents from the end-users. The tripartite management with their
concerted efforts can make a successful solar power project in remote rural areas. |
