This slide deck “Scaling up rooftop solar deployment in Bangladesh” is prepared by Shafiqul Alam, Lead Energy Analyst, IEEFA. It indicates:

  • Bangladesh needs to design a market that incentivises and de-risks investments in rooftop solar to increase the pace of implementation and achieve scale. 
  • The policy and regulatory measures put in place will set the course of rooftop solar for the foreseeable future.
  • These six levers will help create a framework that will result in faster deployment of rooftop solar and deliver benefits to energy consumers, service providers, utilities and the government.
  • Speeding up the transition to rooftop solar will help strengthen the power sector’s resilience, reduce import dependence, and give consumers some energy independence.
