Solar Energy
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Solar Energy</strong></span></p> <p><img alt="Solar Energy" src="http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/country/bangladesh/solar_hl.jpg" style="width: 530px; height: 300px;" /></p> <p>In Bangladesh 60% of the population do not have access to the power grid. The country only produces 3500-4200 MW of electricity against a daily demand for 4000-5200 MW on average, according to official estimates.

Since it saves money on constructing electricity transmission lines, it’s economical as well.</p>
