Questions / Solutions on Solar system

I ask you to sit on the other side of the table first and think like the well endowed individual. We may well arrive at the queries of the incapable individual and find solutions. Without removing the present circumstances (subsidy and its unequal distribution and the resultant skewed products).

The consumers shrugs off at the thought of investing Rs.120 + per Watt p. He is also not very confident about the output promised and the various ifs and buts - temperature coefficient, diffused isolation etc.
In a high interest rate regime you cannot make 8 year payback period attractive.
3. Nobody is confident of supplying power to the grid - even the grid looks at you with suspicion.
Nobody understands 1KWH unless he is told of the output it can give - run your AC for x minutes, or your computers of Y minutes etc.
Subsidy is seen as a burden (maybe even by the Govt which wants to just show what is being done in Green energy). The helpless Grid Co's must be seeing the REC obligations as an irritant to their finances and don't care about the few kw's being supplied to them from some shut homes in the afternoon etc...
There is always lurking danger of a scam which concerns all of the players.
Opinion makers - like architects, builders, lighting consultants and many others have no .........well opinion and stake in this solar energy.

And many more reasons ...................

Now I stick my neck out with probable solutions:

It is a myth that technology is useful only for the well endowed and prosperous. Consider the deft use of your computers and smart phones by small kids in your families who are in school and hardly get some pocket money. Also consider the Dhaba walla who runs his jazzy lights on a Battery. Yes the well endowed is more likely to invest in a traditional system but the other two are more likely to find newer applications.
In all the discussions there is hardly a Utility Grid Engineer or Senior person. My suggestion to the very learned people is to invite one here or even have a closed discussion in presence of some seniors of the group. Let him take a scenario of an upcoming housing colony at the outskirts of a big city which does not have the luxury of stable power supply like the big city.
Let an application be put on solar - with or without batteries, with or without inverters. Let the architect, developer, lighting consultant and any other relevant person discuss it thread bare. This will make all the guys stakeholders. Let them list out the various findings:

Increase/decrease in cost of the project and also decrease in the maintenance costs for the tenants on recurring basis with or without the tax concession give by the local municipal corp.
Reduction in costs to the Utility in terms of maintaining last few miles voltage, avoiding extra wiring, transformer installations to reinforce demand surges and need to buy expensive peaking power in afternoon should this model be replicated thru any one distribution area. This may change his views on solar power and make grid connected PV more acceptable.
Reducing costs of REC's by utility if they choose to put simple applications eg: solar street lights - thus avoiding costly purchase and transmission of power thru his own leaky grid.

Take some obvious application off the grid - 90% of Indian population can have solar water heating for 9 months of the year.
Ask the developer to calculate his lower demanded load from utility figure.
Multiply the amount x potential of "being constructed suburb". See the relief the grip gets if the same is duplicated in a mature city and then we can dream about the whole country.
About the not so well endowed guy - research will show he is using very costly fuel. And the power convertor (DG set at the highest and Kerosene lamp at the lowest level) is inefficient. Plus there is a different pull from a customer who is in a zero sum game.
