This document discusses barriers to the widespread dissemination of solar water heaters (SWHs) in South Africa. It finds that while SWHs have significant potential to reduce electricity demand and greenhouse gas emissions, high upfront capital costs present a major barrier to adoption. Additionally, the current subsidy programs from the South African government may not be sufficient to facilitate widespread diffusion. Alternative financing mechanisms are needed to overcome barriers related to affordability and make SWHs a viable investment for more end users.
