The demand of energy is continuously increasing throughout the whole world. We have witnessed that Bangladesh and many of neighboring countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal, Afghanistan, Bhutan and Maldives are in need of energy. Most of the people of these countries are live in rural area and they can not get electricity.

All the above countries are producing energy depending on Thermal or Hydro sources. These countries use Natural Gas, Coal etc for producing energy. The stocks of these sources are limited and also cause Green house effect, Global Warming etc. So, the demand of Solar Energy is continuously increasing

Solar energy is power from the sun's rays that reaches the earth. Using photovoltaic cells made from silicon alloys, sunlight can be converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and electricity. Steam generators using thermal collectors to heat a fluid, such as water, sometimes convert even higher amounts of solar energy into electricity.

Select India as our target market:-
Vast growing market.Very sunny region of the world and at mid-low
latitude.The total installed capacity barely meets
electricity demand.Highly skilled workers especially in the high-
technology sector.Power demands may rise from 120 GW to 315-335
GW by 2017.Increasing social awareness about its own villagesLikely to run out of its 60-70 billion tons of coal
reserves by 2040Government policy on renewable energy.

In January of 2009, the government announced significant programs to promote megawatt-plus size solar power growth:-
80% rebate incentive to solar power projects no import duty and excise tax on materials
needed for the project. loans for solar power installations. a 25 cents/kWh incentive for net-metering. mandatory solar dependence for all new
government building and multi-story building projects.

Pricing Strategy
We use market penetration as our pricing strategy:-
It is a quick-entry price strategy
Assumes low price will gain high sales volume
Most of the customer are rural people
New competitors think that there will be high risk to enter current market.

Competitive strengthCost leadership and Product development will be our core competency. As well as we always emphasize of products features and quality.
Maintenance free battery that is charged by the Solar P V module Absolutely omni directional white light Nominal consumption, with high performance and excellent lighting Made form ABS plastic and minimal use of metallic parts Provides light equivalent to 40 watt ordinary bulb Four pin CFL is used which is 80% more efficient
31
Competitive strength continue…
8 times longer life than ordinary lamp Capacity to store energy for over three fully operational days, thus works in bad climatic conditions as well Sufficient protection is granted, reducing harm to the electronic circuits even No-load, short-circuit and reverse polarity connections are provided in addition to avoid battery drain beyond utmost depth of discharge Invalidate flow of current from the battery to the module at nighttime is prevented with shot key diode.
32
Benefit from core competency
Core competency can be evolved with time and customer needs.
