CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND • Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts • Struck by the COVID-19 pandemic

CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND • Bangladesh has long been suffering from energy starvation with its humming population of 140 million • 80% live in villages • Bangladesh faces and will face in near future a crisis in energy sector

CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND • Bangladesh government thought of renewable sources of energy • Nature provides us with a number of renewable sources of energy such as sunshine, wind and tidal power • Science came forward with the idea of trapping the vast energy that the sun floods the earth every day.

CHAPTER 1: STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM • NGO providing small credit support • Due to COVID 19, many rural home owners lost their job • Passing idle time at their home and finally they cannot afford NGO’s credit • Rural population are now struggling to afford their daily food

CHAPTER 1: OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT • Diagnosis the root level cause of real crisis for Solar Energy expansion happened due to COVID 19 • Suggested solution for that

CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK • Reached the relevant stakeholder of renewable energy sector in Bangladesh like government authority, NGOs, financial bodies, Solar Energy professionals, academicians, students, businessman and collected information from rural population in northern part of Bangladesh

CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

CHAPTER 2 - LITERATURE REVIEW

CHAPTER 2 - LITERATURE REVIEW • COVID 19 found in China first time in December 2019 • The first case of COVID-19 was identified in Bangladesh on 08 March 2020 • Quick spread of COVID-19 throughout the country since the detection of first case • This pandemic affected in a vast in the capital city Dhaka

CHAPTER 2 - LITERATURE REVIEW • The main advantages of solar energy are that it is absolutely pollution free, inexhaustible and especially suitable for deserts and isolated places where other sources are not available • With the product of suitable low-cost collector materials, solar energy can play a significant role in the future

CHAPTER 2 - THE BASICS OF PHOTOVOLTAIC "Photovoltaic" refers to the creation of voltage (electricity) from light, and is often abbreviated as just "PV". A more common term for photovoltaic cells is "solar cells", although the cells work with any kind of light and not just sunlight.

CHAPTER 2 - SOLAR PV SYSTEM EQUIPMENT

CHAPTER 2 - IMPACT OF SOLAR HOME SYSTEM • Better environment of children's education • Women are getting extra time for income generation activity like sewing, poultry farming • Increased income • Starting of new business-like radio/TV repairing shop, telephone service, power selling service, etc.

CHAPTER 2 - ROOFTOP SOLAR HOME SYSTEM

CHAPTER 2 - UTILIZATION OF SOLAR HOME SYSTEM • • Solar Home System is costly NGOs and private organizations provide SHS Gov. organizations provide SHSs Currently, 2500 SHSs are being installed a month

CHAPTER 3 - METHODOLOGY

CHAPTER 3 - METHODOLOGY • • • Project Design Solar Data Analysis Sampling Procedure Target Population Data Analysis Techniques Ethical Consideration

CHAPTER 3 - SOLAR IRRADIANCE
