5. Introduction
• Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or
electrical energy.Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant
renewable energy source available.
• It can convert into electric energy by using solar cells.
• It is environmental friendly [1].

9. Future of Solar Energy
91
• The long term average sunshine data indicates that the
period of bright sunshine hours in the coastal regions of
Bangladesh varies from 3 to 11 hours daily.[4] The
insolation in Bangladesh varies from 3.8 kWh/m2/day to
6.4 kWh/m2/day at an average of 5 kWh/m2/day. These
indicate that there are good prospects for solar thermal
and photovoltaic application in the country [3].
• Bangladesh receives 900 X 1018 joules of solar energy
annually and the availability of solar energy per square
meter is 193 W whereas the consumption per square
meter is only 0.17 W [4]. So there is a huge opportunity
to get energy from solar by introducing proper
technology.

10. Conclusion
• Providing electricity for meeting lighting needs of households and rural
markets can bring several positive impacts including improvement of quality
of life and increasing in income and employment opportunities.
• Solar systems with different options should be available to the consumers
so that they can choose themselves according to their demand.
