Photovoltaic energy in Bangladesh: Recent scenario, techno-economic evaluation, potential and challenges
Institute of Fuel Research and Development (IFRD), Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR), Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1205, Bangladesh Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Melbourne, Australia School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia Global Consultants and Educational Services Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia Department of Physics, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka E-mail: mashudurbd@gmail.com, apukowsar@gmail.com Manuscript received online 10 July 2020, revised and accepted 31 October 2020 In recent years, solar photovoltaic energy has experienced a reasonable growth in Bangladesh. As a remote and off-grid power sources over 5.8 million solar home systems (SHSs) have already been installed having a total capacity of 370 MW. Four large scale solar power plants have also been installed recently and another 30 plants are under planning and construction phase having capacity of 1,910 MW. This article presents a review of solar power and other renewable resources in Bangladesh, their scenario, progress, related government policies, potentials and challenges for successful implementation. Techno-economic evaluation for stand-alone SHSs with supply to a grid-tied system has been performed. This evaluation has shown that the solar photovoltaic energy is likely to be an economically attractive source of clean energy and an alternative long-term energy security for sustainable development of Bangladesh.
