Abstract
This study examines the impact of Solar Home Systems (SHS) on household electricity consumption in rural Bangladesh using a quantitative cross-sectional design. A survey was conducted on 200 households in four rural districts selected based on their high proportion of households without access to grid electricity. Results showed that households with SHS had significantly higher monthly electricity consumption than those without SHS. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed a positive and significant impact of SHS ownership on household electricity consumption, after controlling for household income, size, education level of the household head, and access to grid electricity. The study highlights the potential of SHS to increase access to electricity and improve the quality of life in rural areas of Bangladesh. Keywords: Solar Home Systems, household electricity consumption, rural Bangladesh, energy access, renewable energy.
