Why Solar Energy? 
6 % of urban 
population lacked 
electricity 
800 million in India 
continue using traditional 
biomass energy sources – 
namely fuel wood, 
agricultural waste and 
livestock dung – for 
cooking and other 
domestic 
Traditional fuel combustion 
is the primary source of 
indoor air pollution in India, 
causes between 3,00,000 
to 4,00,000 deaths per year 
and other chronic health 
issues. 
35.5% of the Indian 
population still live 
without access to 
electricity. 
60 % of rural 
households have 
connection to 
electricity grid 
Solar accounts for 
6% of total 
renewable energy 
The Electricity Access 
Database iea.org 2011 
India receives one of 
the highest global 
solar radiation - an 
energy of about 5,000 
trillion kWh per year 
Affordable & 
reliable energy is 
the need for 
human & 
economic 
growth

Selco- A Differentiator 
 The underserved at the bottom of the pyramid 
require innovations in product and finance for them 
to afford and access these energy services. 
 Financial Risk: Absence of financial innovations. 
 Technology Innovations: Manufacturers are unable 
to judge the needs of the end-users. 
 Lack of Commitment: Most organizations do not 
consider innovations for the BOP market a main 
priority for the company’s business. 
 
 A combination of innovations in products, 
finance, supply and the service ensures that 
reliable and affordable energy can be used to 
improve the quality of lives of the poor 
households. 
 Dispelling 3 myths: 
Poor people cannot afford sustainable 
technologies. 
Poor people cannot maintain technologies. 
One cannot build a sustainable business 
while meeting social objectives.

Getting the help of a local charismatic leader to 
promote the products. The relevant person needs to be 
targeted first and once he is convinced, he becomes 
instrumental in spreading the word in the 
area 
A bank offering innovative financing for Selco products 
can market the product through a demo at the bank 
premises. The goodwill the Bank Manager shares with 
the people helps in creating trust for the organisation 
thus creating a healthy starting point to begin 
operations. 
Local SHG can organize a demo meet to create 
awareness about Solar and advocate its adoption. 
Tea parties can be organized by a person who is using 
the Selco solar system. He can talk about its benefits to 
other. 
The installation team can create a hype at the time of 
installation to create traction and curiosity.
