Is solar PV a good option in Bangladesh?

In recent years, the summer temperature in Bangladesh spikes to around 35°C for most of the days. This allows an opportunity to incorporate solar concentrator and solar thermoelectric generation system with solar PV as a combined technology for generating more power with higher efficiency. 5.3.

Can solar power generation be a success story in Bangladesh?

Solar energy is abundant in the world but it exists for a fraction of 24 hours and offers very limited conversion efficiency compared to hydro-electric generation. However, in order to compile a success story with solar power generation in Bangladesh, the following challenges and potential measures could be identified:
