Abstract

One of the most important variables affecting a country’s socioeconomic maturity is access to electricity. Bangladesh is now suffering from a severe electricity shortage. Around 65% of people do not have access to power, and most of them live in villages. The generated electricity was unable to meet demand, resulting in load shedding of up to 1500 MW. Solar Home Systems technology can be a wise effort to fix this problem in this case by harnessing energy from the country’s free-flowing renewable source. The main purpose of this paper is to make people more aware of using the solar system.
