Context:
A professional campaign to raise awareness, to sensitise and educate should be launched with the aim to influence the choices of consumers in favour of Solar Devices. Kindergartens, schools, colleges, vocational training centres, hospitals and old-age-homes can be primary addresses for such campaigns.

Governments should include programmes on solar devices in all educational institutions. They should also budget for regular efforts to enhance the understanding of the necessity to increase the use of Solar Technology in the public.
