Generally concrete strength can be achieved on 28 days with proper curing. In practice curing is taking more time as well as in energy. We cannot wait for long time so desired quality cannot be achieved. In this dynamic world, we should achieve quality in effective time with effective energy. Only one way we should rethink of our ideas and technology, thus the way hot water curing has come to construction. Hot water curing should implement in construction with effective renewable source of solar energy. The use of solar energy is becoming popular and used extensively for street lighting, in water heater and solar cookers. Already solar power has introduced for irrigation, now in ongoing construction. We can achieve desired quality of concrete with effective time.
