Explore daily and monthly solar irradiance data to understand the solar energy potential in your area.
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.
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.
This initiative is crucial for advancing solar energy projects in Bangladesh, offering a dependable foundation for research, planning, and investment in sustainable energy solutions.
