This document outlines the objectives, components, technical details, pricing, marketing mix, and future expansion plans for a solar-powered air cooler called SunKul. The key objectives are to save power and electricity costs, reduce maintenance expenses by replacing electric pumps, and provide cooling for rural areas without electricity. The solar cooler uses solar panels, batteries, fans, and a cooler body to provide up to 12 hours of cooling powered by the sun. It is priced at 21,000 rupees and marketed primarily to rural areas of Maharashtra. The company plans to expand manufacturing and move into larger cities over the next 6 years.
2. Objectives of The Plan
Save power and electricity.
Reduce the expenses made on maintenance of cooler by replacing
the concept of pump.
Reduce the overheads creates by the electricity pump to lift the
water when the voltage supply is low.
Reduce the electricity bills.
Minimizing the need of season-wise servicing.
Enable people of those rural areas which do not have electricity
supply to have cool air during summer days.
4. Solar Air Cooler
Runs on sun - light (direct from solar panels)
Highly efficient (consumes 3 amp. At low speed & 5 amp at high
speed)
Good & effective in bed rooms/drawing room
Eco & user friendly
Can run on an inverter
Also have good backup (12 hours)
Useful for hotels/resorts/power deficient areas/industrial use

Differentiation- One time investment, no maintenance needed ;Does not require
electricity
12. • Available Substitutes
• Energy loss during DC to AC
conversion
• Uncertainty of consumers
adopting and using new
technology
• Rising mercury
• Huge Market
• Can be used as a cooling agent
• Less competitors
• Electricity price rise
• Behavioral change
• Online search websites
• Weather dependent
• It covers only small area
• The initial cost of the system is
quite high
• Lack of efficient transport facility
• Lack of proper retail outlets
• No overheads of maintenance
• No need to buy pump
• No servicing required every season
• Economical, hence mid income can
bear its expenses
• Used where there is no supply of
electricity
• Less expensive and can provide
power for three decades
• Clean and a renewable source of
energy, reduces carbon footprint
• Can be used efficiently in less water
supply
