I. INTRODUCTION
Time of enhanced growth in PV activity in Bangladesh
are coming. This is a forecast derived from the PV arena
dynamics observed during last year both inside the country
and internationally. Nationally, several factors can be
listed. The government has set the goal of providing
electricity to all citizens by 2021[1]. In particular
Goverment with private company is working out plans and
projects to introduce PV technology as an alternative for
distributed generation[2]. Since the ever awaited Taka per
watt-peak reached its historical low record and still a higher
reduction for the near term is anticipated[3]. Inverter
Battery and some other associated equipments price trends
can also be mentioned as a positive factor due to a net
reduction[3]. With a population reaching 152.51 million
Bangladesh electricity production and consumption based
on primary energy resources are continuing to increase[4].
Bangladesh is known to have a good potential for solar
energy, but so far no systematic study has been done to
quantify this potential for power generation [5].Recent
national energy scenarios and studies have confirmed an
important contribution expected from photovoltaics in a
future sustainable electricity supply[2]. CO2- emissions
related to electricity production are relatively low, since
hydro, nuclear bio and wind energy are the main
contrinutors. Strategic priorities are wind power,bioenergy
and smart grid solutions, but there is also great interest in
PV, which is also often seen as a relevant part of smart
grids [5] .The bangladesh electricity system is mainly
supplied by natural gas and it is almost 88.29% [1].
V. IMPLEMENTATION
It can be mentionable that goverment take three term
plan like Short term plan(produce 920 MW witin 12-14
month) Mid term plan(2600 MW within 2015)and long
term plan is
government expects to meet the desire
destination 20,000 MW by the year 2021.
Many
companies are still waiting for grid-parity to invest MW
scaled projects in Bangladesh. Currently, there are a few
few KW PV pilot projects. Some attractive PV application
which are installed in 2012 or in previous are explained
below:
The information obtained from the database of Ministry
of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR)
Bangladesh related to the net generation of electricity from
solar PV till to date is accumulated below [5]:
1. Present solar power generation: 1520 MW.
2. Power development board (PDB), rural electrification
board (REB) and infrastructure development company
limited (IDCOL) are distributing SHS to the people living
in the off-grid areas. IDCOL has already distributed
450,000 SHS across the country through different NGO.

XI. CONCLUSION
Actually in Bangladesh Power demand exceeds
generation capacity so for poverty reduction and to fulfil
the vision 2021 which is to distribute electric energy to
every people Bangladesh need to look for sustainable with
environment friendly energy source which is nothing but
solar energy.
