Motivation
Solar Energy: This Sun’s For You!
Global energy demand is about 20 Trillion
Watts.
Most of this comes from fossil fuels.
The CO2 is leading to global
warming.
Why Solar Energy? Because of the sheer
amount of energy the Sun gives us –
120,000 Trillion Watts!
Challenge – Harvest these “Free Photons” to
solve our energy and food needs.
120,000 Trillion Watts

Roadmap to Renewable Energy based Economy
RET (Renewable Energy Technology) in
Bangladesh could be scaled-up successfully
when there will be a united effort from
people, Government, Academics, Private
Enterprises and all other Development
Agencies.
Our Role for Adaptation to RET
•
Creating
more awareness
•
Dissemination of knowledge through training
•
Improvement of technology designs
•
Innovative solutions to rural and urban
sectors
•
Enhancing manufacturing and service
facilities
•
Maintaining quality and service for
reliability
Role of Energy Consumers
Incorporate Renewable Energy Applications
wherever possible for sustainability and
green environment
Global warming - Renewable can make
the difference
Our few activities to scale-up Renewable
Energy applications
•
Development of solar powered Hybrid
Auto-rickshaw
•
Development of solar systems and devices
•
Solar powered mobile food van
•
Training and awareness creation
•

Journey of Solar
End of journey stationed at BRAC Tarc, Savar
Popcorn production
-
Compressed bio-gas used in the burner
-
Motor changed from 65 watt to 5 watt to run by solar energy
Clients surrounding the van
-
Further improvement will be done after availability of fund from the sponsor
-
We acknowledge our gratefulness to BRAC for funding this innovative project
Training and awareness creation
Where we want to
reach
Pond solar aeration
for increased fish production
Where we want to
reach
•
Larger use of Solar dryer
•
(Photo taken from
website ) Solar, Biogas powered Irrigation-pumping
•
Solar powered Street Light
•
BIPV – Building Integrated Photovoltaic System
•
Nanoskin building
•
Wind-PV panel
•
Solar powered
traffic light
•
Use of Solar car
•
Full utilization of
Negawatt Concept as follows
•
Energy Conservation
through introduction of energy efficient devices
•
Addition of
Alternate Renewable power source wherever possible
•
One Watt saved is
one Watt generated without burning of
fossil fuel
