4.2.4 Solar Water Heater Solar thermal collectors are common in the tourism sector and most private homes are nowadays equipped with plumbing for solar water heaters. Most of the collectors are imported from Barbados and Dominica (Loy & Farrell 2005). According to the Global Sustainable Energy Islands Initiative (GSEII 2009a), there should be more solar water heaters in use. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Energy and Security Group (ESG) - working in partnership with the Grenada Public Service Co-operative Credit Union (GPSCU) - were jointly implementing the Caribbean Solar Finance Programme (CSFP). This program was designed to increase access to solar water heaters for households in the Eastern Caribbean by increasing the capacity for financing by the credit unions that service the credit needs of the target population, while at the same time helping to build awareness among the membership of the credit unions as to the benefits of solar water heaters. Program elements were a training course for lending of a solar water heater for officers in credit unions, a wholesale consumer credit facility offering a low-cost, long-term loan facility to credit leagues for on-lending to members of constituent credit unions to support the purchase of solar water heaters, and a consumer awareness campaign designed to raise awareness of the benefits of solar water heaters among the credit union members (GSEII 2009b). The CSFP project in Granada followed a project in St. Lucia and tried to learn from some shortcomings. The key activities of the program in Grenada have been executed during the last 9 months and now it has to be seen how it will perform, according to Marco Matteini (pers. comm. 31 May 2010), Industrial Development Officer of UNIDO. When asked, the Grenadian government did not have any figures that showed how many solar water heaters are in use and replied that it is difficult to rate. But the Statistics Bureau provided the following import figures as listed in Table 4. There are no manufacturers for solar water heaters, so all technology must be either imported or assembled in Grenada. According to the figures in the table, there were more than 4500 solar water heaters imported by the end of 2008 but it cannot be said if there were more assembled.
