Solar Water Heating - India
Today, 90% of people in west Indian cities use direct electricity to generate hot water — a process heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Since hot water accounts for 20–30% of household electricity use, the climate impact is significant. By distributing solar water heaters installed directly on household roofs, the project reduces emissions and energy costs for thousands of families.
In west India's cities, 90% of people use direct electricity to heat water. With hot water making up 20 to 30% of electricity use, and an electricity mix still heavily reliant on fossil fuels, the climate impact is significant. Neutech Solar addresses this by installing solar water heaters on household roofs.
Environmental Impact:✅ Cuts household electricity use by 20–30%.✅ Reduces reliance on coal-generated electricity.
Social Impact:✅ Saves families money on energy bills.✅ Encourages widespread solar adoption in urban areas.
