Solar energy prospects in Bangladesh

Solar energy prospects in Bangladesh

The prospects of solar energy implementation in Bangladesh are undoubtedly very good. We all are very much aware of the fact that Bangladesh is indeed in need of electricity, one without which a country is definite to be left behind in the 21st century. At present, world is well-known of the fact of the need of reducing fossil fuels and other sources of limited energy and also is trying to best utilize what nature is affluent with its elements such as solar energy, wind, water etc. Therefore, we should not and cannot neglect using renewable resources to generate our much needed electricity.

 

As Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh is the cornerstone of business and economy and since it is the most densely populated city in the country, it is the city that suffers the most in the context of electricity. However, where there are problems the solution often lies within. And the reason I say this is because the buildings that we have in the city are flat toped and most of the time it is not used for any useful purposes. So, if the government of Bangladesh imposes each and every owner of the buildings to have solar panels on their roof-tops and make this a compulsory act, then a lot of the demand for electricity off the national grid will be reduced. In addition, the initial(one time) setup costs can be collected from the renters of the houses and government should accommodate other facilities to the owner since they are doing it such as reducing income taxes, paying incentives etc.

 

Here is a link that Japan is planning to make all of the buildings to be equipped with solar panels by the year 2030:  http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-05-japan-solar-panels.html

Another option, we have in our country is to make the road solar panel paved roadways, since much of the year the city roads are open to the immense heat of the Sun and thus, are very good candidates for solar panels.

Also, steps need to be taken as soon as possible to create and assemble solar panels in home rather than importing these and thus, made these available to all sorts of people. 

 

Wish in near future Bangladesh will be independent country in a sense of not depending for foreign aids for this and that, and flourish as a developed country where there would be no suffering at least for electricity.
