The proposed project activities will remove barriers related to i) improving the solar water heating quality, ii) reducing the price and improve affordability, iii) increasing awareness and iv) improving a policy context favourable for solar water heater market development. The GEF support is requested to cover the costs of activities that would catalyze penetration of this medium term market through a promotional phase whereby 100,000 sq.m. would be installed during a 4-year period resulting in direct Carbon abatements of about 350,000 tonnes. A medium term GHG mitigation impact of 1.4 million tonnes of Carbon is expected by 2010.
