• Solar energy powers up Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s office

  • Prime_Minister_Sheikh_Hasinas_office.jpg The Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has decided to go green, using solar power to light up her office. A solar panel installed by the Bangladeshi government on the rooftop of the office located at Dhaka will soak in the sun and power up the office. The system was recently inaugurated by the PM herself. With a capacity of 20.16 kilowatt, the system was installed on a 1,700-square feet steel structure costing around 10 million taka (around $144770.52). 126 solar panels were used to set up this array using five controllers with 80 amperes and 28 batteries with 1,320 amperes. This is a working example set by the PM herself to a nation suffering power shortages. Hopefully, the people of Bangladesh look up to this move and decide to use renewable energy sources instead.
