INTRODUCTION

Developing countries like Bangladesh

are very much gullible to the current

energy crisis.

Alarming news -mineral resources (gas, fuels etc.) will

be consumed totally within a short interval in future

where electricity production dependent.

So, have to reduce dependence on mineral

resources rather focus the potential non-exhaustive

sustainable sources of energies resources

(solar,

biomass,

biogas and wind etc) available in the country.

INTRODUCTION

For this, UN recently

Declared SDG-2030 for

challenging the

climate change.

Annual amount of

solar energy reaching

surface is about twice as

much as ever be obtained

from all Earth's non-renewable

resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium combined.

Bangladesh is a subtropical country.

huge potentiality and scope of solar plant

alter of non-renewable energy.

INTRODUCTION

Provide an environmentally sustainableenergy security,

Solar power plant in urban area to minimize increased burden of electricity in city

Affordable solar plant to the off-grid rural areas where [about 20% of the rural and remote people in Bangladesh are deprived from electricity]

Accordingly, effective utilization of solar energy resources has adopted as a policy of the (GOB).

Different government and NGOs have been working separately or jointly to disseminate solar energy technologies.

LITERATURE REVIEW / PREVIOUS STUDY

1. Solar power generated electricity is environmentally feasible and ample opportunity in Bangladesh and top priority for Bangladesh in the 21st century. [Khalequzzaman-07]

2. Government and NGO offices,

-health centers, -schools, -banks,

-police stations etc in off-grid

locations are either

using traditional

means (lantern, candles,

kerosene, wick lamps etc.) or own diesel genets

where offices can be easily served

With solar photovoltaic applications to reduce separate budgets.

Develop a policy framework -allows and inspires private investors to develop renewable energy projects to

realize the vast potential .[Islam and Islam (2005) ]

LITERATURE REVIEW / PREVIOUS STUDY

3. Higher usage of solar energy - will develop the sustainability and socio-economic development of the country.

RET(Renewable Energy Technologies) projectsneeds to be extensively carried out with the help of research and development and usage of proper equipment.

4. Average annual sunlight hours in Bangladesh compared with other developed countries like Germany and Spain, notable for development in solar energy sector.

[ Sakir, Rahman and Shahadat -2012 ]

LITERATURE REVIEW / PREVIOUS STUDY

5. Habib and Tamzid,(2001) explored a new efficient, suitable and robust hybrid model to overcome lacking of power supply in rural-remote areas by installing affordable solar power plant for rural areas people.

6. Considerable opportunity exists in Bangladesh to meet future power demand and thus economic growth. [Rahman and Saha (2013) ]

7. A solar PV system is important emerging option to supply electricity with quality

light, reliable service, and long-term

sustainability.

HYPOTHESIS

Potentiality and prospects of solar

energy in household and business

sectors in Bangladesh to reduce the

power crisis.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Data collection

both factual and exploratory research approaches.

qualitative statistical analysis using primary data

Respondents: 177respondents from various

household and business sectors selected rural and

urban areas in Dhaka districts.

A questionnaire with eleven questions have

been structured followed by a two point Binary-

scale scheduling as follows:

YES= (1)

NO= (0)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Tools used for data analysis

Data analysis and Purification was conducted

through SPSS version 16.

Factor analysis -to specify the basic issues for

using of solar energy as the alternative of electricity

in household and business sectors in Bangladesh.

multivariate method

Frequency Table

DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

This results shows - all factors have strong influence on

potentiality of using solar energy as the sustainable energy in

household and business sectors in Bangladesh.

The result displayed-

consent of respondent varies from factor to factor.

People of unavailable electricity area are using solar at lower

installation cost .But most of them are interested to use solar

energy if no restriction of limited use .

DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

Two perspective-

1. majority respondent of unavailable electricity area

agreed to prefer using solar energy despite problem of

limited use.

2. majority respondents of available electricity area are

reluctant to use solar energy due to

a. a. delay limited use,

b. b. higher installation cost as well as

c. c. less advantages than electricity.

DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

Loadings 11 variables that

4 factors extracted [between 4

and 5 factors Eigen value 1]

Factor 1- found Idea about

solar power, usages at home,

satisfaction over solar energy,

user convenience and better advantages of solar power rather than electricity

Factor 2- Influencing the

potential greater scopes for

using solar energy as sustainable power modes.

Factor 3- enhancing solar power’s technological

advancement

Factor 4- limited use of solar energy: main

constraints to choose solar energy

Factor analysis

CONCLUSION:

This current study has explored several-

external reasons like- (advantages)

satisfaction over solar energy,

user convenience and

comparative advantages of solar energy as well as

internal reasons like- (disadvantages)

higher installation cost of solar energy,

limited use,

servicing/maintenance cost

which have major impact on potentiality of using solar energy in

household and business purposes.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Going forward, we can’t say that people are chosen

to solar energy against electricity

maximum unavailable electricity area people are

tend to use solar energy as no alternative power

supply.

Recommendation- If emphasizing on the

increased capacity and efficiency of solar power

plant,

--the use of solar power plant will be raising

rapidly throughout the country in household and

business sectors.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

On the contrary, the available electricity area people are quite reluctant to use solar power plant due to its limited use, higher installation cost and also unusualness with solar power plant.

Recommendation- If focusing on the

social awareness about the sustainable use of solar power plant and

by decreasing installation cost,

--the people in available electricity region will also be willing to use solar power plant to concise the use and decrease pressure on electricity.

Thus, current power crisis over country

will decrease at proportionally in

large scale

RECOMMENDATION

If it possible that maximum people are

gradually tend to use solar power plant, in near

future,----no power crisis in our country.

There is a possible way, especially in Dhaka

city including all city and town,

Authority can encourage city dwellers announcing

particular percentage of city tax redemption to

those who installs solar power plant in every building

of house as well as in business.

It might be very effective to reduce the huge

pressure on power supply through electricity.
