On May 24, a one-megawatt on-grid rooftop solar power system was inaugurated at Bangladesh’s National Parliament building. The project is described as both a power generation initiative and a symbol of the state’s commitment to renewable energy. It highlights the potential of utilizing unused rooftops across government, industrial, educational, and residential buildings to produce clean electricity and reduce pressure on the national grid.
Bangladesh’s geographic position provides strong solar potential, with most regions receiving 4.5 to 5 kilowatt-hours of solar radiation per square meter daily. The country’s Renewable Energy Policy 2025 targets at least 20 percent of total power generation from renewable sources by 2030. Rooftop solar systems are seen as a practical solution amid rising load-shedding and limited land for new power plants. They offer economic, environmental, and energy security benefits while creating new employment opportunities in installation, maintenance, and technical services.
The article notes challenges such as high initial investment, dependence on sunlight, technical maintenance needs, and administrative barriers. It calls for easier financing, quality standards, training programs, and public awareness to expand rooftop solar adoption nationwide.
