This paper aims to quantify the three main aspects of sustainable development, the economic, social, and environmental impacts of the generalization of solar water heaters in Marrakech. In order to conduct this Impact assessment study, we used both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The impact assessment analysis has been done on three different levels: households, Tourism, and private and public institutions. The generalization of SWH at the scale of the city of Marrakech will be in this perspective the origin of a profit today neglected. The resulting impact, both economically and socially, would be great. It is also beneficial and concerns the natural and sanitary environment. Nationally, the direct financial impact of the generalization of SWH at the direct city level is around $ 15 million. The generalization of solar water heaters in Morocco will reduce the national energy bill by 1.3%.

Subsidy Programs

Government intervention in the form of financial incentives is crucial for translating customer choice into a larger market share for solar thermal applications. The lengthy subsidy programs for solar water heaters in Taiwan have expanded the local market. On a remote island (Kinmen County), the area of solar collectors that are installed per 1000 inhabitants is 192.9 square meters. This study investigates a market-driven mechanism in terms of disposable income, household structure, building type and financial viability. The dual subsidy programs appear to have distorted the local market. The cumulative energy savings for solar water heaters that are installed is misleading because the systems are over-designed and there is a high replacement rate (or shorter service period).

Corporate Social Responsibilityis a concept that a company has various forms of responsibility to all stakeholders including consumers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspects of the company's operations that include economic, social, and environmental aspects.
