That's unfortunate, according to scientists at the Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University in India, because using the sun's power to heat water is a far more efficient process and offers a much quicker return on investment: According to their analysis, published in the International Journal of Global Energy, as the payback time
for a solar water heating system is about two years (with a lifespan of 20), this is a far more cost - effective use of solar energy in the developing world than using it to generate electricity.
