Generally, rural areas are located far away from power distribution side, but some rural areas at costal and hill track region is more challenging, hazardous and expensive issue to supply grid power.

On the contrary, Solar energy is eco-friendly and available in everywhere. Being a tropical country Bangladesh is remarkable for solar radiation. It is good news for SHS, Bangladesh Govt. takes some important steps to encourage people using solar system in rural area of Bangladesh.
