Solar Home System (SHS) impact in Bangladesh

Abstract

Access to electricity is one of the major factors that impinge on socio-economic maturity of a country. At present Bangladesh is distressing from an acute electricity problem. Around 65% of people having lack access of electricity and majority of them are living in village. The generated power was incapable to assemble the demand, leading to a load shedding up to maximum 1500MW. In this situation SHS technology can be a smart effort to solve this problem by harnessing energy the country’s free-flowing renewable such as sun shine. In the last 15 years SHS installation is increased tremendously. So it is the high time to measure what are the impacts of SHS in our country. This result will lead us to solve our energy problem more effectively.
