Solar Irradiation Station - Dhaka

Overview

The Solar Irradiation Station in Dhaka is located at Bidyut Bhaban, Motijheel C/A, Dhaka-1000 (GPS: 23.728, 90.407). Equipped with advanced instruments like a sun tracker, pyranometer, and a comprehensive weather station, this center aims to provide precise and reliable solar data specific to the context of Bangladesh.

Importance

Previously, obtaining accurate solar irradiation data in Bangladesh was challenging, leading to uncertainties in solar project feasibility assessments. The establishment of this station marks a significant step toward addressing this gap.

Goals

• Data Collection: Implement solar irradiation measurement centers across various zones in Bangladesh to build a reliable solar database.
• Feasibility Studies: Provide accurate data to reduce uncertainties in feasibility tests for solar projects.
• Investment Encouragement: Foster investment in solar projects by providing reliable data, thus promoting:
  • Rooftop solar net metering
  • Solar parks
  • Solar irrigation systems

Impact

This initiative is crucial for advancing solar energy projects in Bangladesh, offering a dependable foundation for research, planning, and investment in sustainable energy solutions.
