Solar Energy with the perspective of Bangladesh
ABSTRACT
Bangladesh is experiencing an acute shortage of electric power that is likely to be worsening day by day which stresses the need for the deployment of renewable energy resources to extenuate this energy crisis. Since Bangladesh is a country which is abundant in natural resources; the substantial availability of renewable energy sources in the form of solar, biomass, biogas, hydropower and wind energy can provide opportunities of sustainable energy based development. In Bangladesh, nearly 72% of the population lives in rural areas and renewable energy is considered to be the right choice for providing clean energy to these remote settlements. Among all other renewable energy sources the most obvious and realistic choice is solar energy. Solar energy is available in abundant amount on earth and shifting our electricity requirements on solar energy is most likely to be the option in coming future. Solar energy is an ideal solution as it can provide gridless power and is totally clean in terms of pollution and health hazards. Since it saves money on constructing electricity transmission lines, it’s economical as well. Little wonder that it is becoming popular in Bangladesh. The number of households using solar panels has now crossed the one million mark, the fastest expansion of solar use anywhere in the world. In 2002, just 7,000 households in Bangladesh were using solar panels, but now more than one million households, or five million people, are benefitting from solar energy.

Introduction:
Bangladesh situated in the north-eastern part of south Asia is among the world’s most densely populated nations (1099 people/km2 in 2010) with a population of 162.20 million in 2011. Energy, and more explicitly electricity, is a prerequisite for the technological development, higher economic growth and poverty reduction of a nation. The future economic development of
