In order to sketch Sindh's RE (Renewable Energy) based scenario, it is vital to trace the dynamics of simplest RETs (Renewable Energy Technologies) such as STTs (Solar Thermal Technologies). STTs are simple to operate, easy to maintain and requires low cost of fabrication. Due to these advantages, STTs possess scope for mass market creation in Sindh as can provide alternate energy solutions to meet daily fuel requirements of heating and cooking etc. The paper identifies that the low awareness

This paper consists of survey findings, which traces the trends for STTs utilization in Sindh by testing various hypotheses to identify the suitable tactics required for their market creation. Finally the key policy recommendations are provided at the end.
