Nizamuddin Sheikh, 52, who runs a small eatery in Foilerhat market in Bagerhat district, thinks that the Bangladeshi Taka 1,900 (24 dollars) he paid for a 20 watt solar set, that includes solar panels, battery, regulator and a set of compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and LED lights, is the best investment he ever made.Xeccon S12 is a kind of very amazing Cree T6 lightbrightt, it perform very well among the various brand bicycle lights.Purchase our goodskylanterns System for 30% off ...

Nizamuddin has to repay the rest of the cost of the solar home system (SHS) over the next 36 months at five dollars per month, which, he says, is no burden.
"Once we demonstrate the benefits of SHS,Powerful magicshine002 with a 3 Watt emitter and lithium rechargeable battery pack. people respond with tremendous interest," said Habibur Rahman, GS regional manager in Bagerhat. "And then we offer easy and affordable monthly installment facilities."
There are various packages on offer suited to different income groups of people in the rural areas. The very poor can own an SHS, paying as low as ten percent of the total cost with the rest payable in 36 equal installments.
Typically, people from the poorer sections opt for an SHS set that costs 124 dollars and capable of generating about 10 watts of electricity to light a five watt CFL for about three hours.
Better off people buy more powerful systems, paying 35 percent of the total cost of the SHS in advance and the balance over a 12-month period. Costs vary with energy output, with the most expensive model costing 925 dollars and providing 135 watts of uninterrupted power for four hours.
Acting managing director of GS, Abser Kamal, told IPS, "SHS units are in demand due to many advantages, but especially because it is far cheaper than conventional fuels like kerosene and diesel and has no maintenance expenses."
"In the villages solar power provides extended working hours for students, shopkeepers and housewives. Now they can do things like conveniently charge mobile phones – which have already been changing lives," Kamal said.
"Without solar power many villagers would probably have had to wait years to get electricity from the national grid," he said. "Solar is transforming their lives – this is quick social and economical development."
Only 41 percent of Bangladesh's 142 million people have access to electricity from the sluggish national grid.
GS, a pioneer in promoting 'green energy', started out in 1996 as a lone player and today is the largest distributor of SHS - over 700,000 units out of a total of about 1.1 million in the country - contributing to the daily generation of about 60 Mw of solar power.
Current power generation from some 81 power plants amounts to 6,700 Mw, with 95 percent of it coming from burning fossil fuels like coal, furnace oil, gas and diesel. Hydroelectric power accounts for another 3.3 percent
Bangladesh's energy minister Muhammad Enamul Huq told IPS, "We want to promote solar system in every corner of the country and so we are giving huge incentives to the private sector to make solar affordable."
