Abstract
Solar Home System based rural electrification has seen dramatic progress since the start of the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development Project (RREDP), which is financed by Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) since 2003. Recently a technical audit was done for the Solar Home Systems. This paper illustrates the findings of the technical audit during the field visits to four different areas of Bangladesh. The study has revealed some technical shortcomings of the SHS packages sold in Bangladesh. These include incompatible component combinations, faulty installation, lack of quality control of component parts and lack of adequate quality standards and quality enforcement. The paper also proposes some simple solutions to address these issues so that the SHS industry will enjoy continued success in Bangladesh.
