Bangladesh has implemented the world''s largest off-grid solar power programme, with 20 million people across the country benefiting, according to the World Bank.
This study offers a detailed review of Bangladesh''s solar energy landscape, with a focus on major projects.
In Bangladesh, the fossil fuel-dependent grid fails to reach coastal areas, so solar home systems (SHSs) provide viable off-grid electrification, though their usage and challenges

Solar power, in this regard, is a reliable, economically feasible and secured energy source for the country . Most of the people in Bangladesh live in the rural areas where power supply is in high demand. Solar power has great potential to be a key electric source for the country in the future.
Considering the growing demand for electric vehicles in rural areas, enhancing solar energy in coastal Bangladesh is imperative. Several recent studies have reported this growing demand for solar energy in rural communities for economic activities [58, 59, 60]. Our study respondents emphasized the significant impact of SHS on their livelihoods.
In rural Bangladesh, which is home to almost 62% of the population, around 45% of people have access to electric power. The primary driver of global electricity production is heavily dependent on finite fossil fuels supplemented by nuclear power, hydroelectric power, and a variety of renewable energy sources including solar and wind.
The Indian government, through initiatives like the National Solar Mission, has partnered with microfinance institutions to provide loans for solar installations, supported by government subsidies. This approach has significantly increased solar adoption in rural areas , showcasing the potential for similar strategies in Bangladesh.
