Feasibility study

Solar Irrigation System

Project Details

The vision of the Government of Bangladesh is to provide electricity to all by 2021. To fulfill the GOB’s vision and objectives of electrification, development of renewable energy resources will play a vital role. The government has taken appropriate measures for generating environment-friendly electricity from renewable energy sources. The Renewable Energy Policy has already been approved with the target to produce 5% of the total power generation by 2015 and 10% by 2020 from renewable energy sources.  In absolute numbers this means that at least 800 MW power has to be generated from renewable sources by 2015 and 2000 MW by 2020. 

Solar powered irrigation system could be an innovative, economic and environmentally friendly solution for the agro-based economy of Bangladesh. This system mainly consists of solar panels & solar submersible pump. Solar panels utilize daily sunshine to generate electricity which in turn runs the solar pump to provide uninterrupted water supply. If a sun-tracker is used, it will help in maximizing utilization of the sunlight the panels receive. Initiatives has been taken by the Government for replacing all diesel irrigation pumps by solar irrigation pumps by the next 3-5 years.
