Solar

Understand solar in two minutes

See how the energy flows, which system fits your building, and what the government rules mean for you.

How solar works

Follow the energy

Scroll through the five steps. The diagram lights up the part that is working.

SunSolar panelsInverterHomeBatteryGrid / meter
  1. 1

    Sunlight hits the panels

    Solar cells turn sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. More sun, more power.

  2. 2

    The inverter converts it

    Your building uses alternating current (AC). The inverter converts DC to AC and manages the system.

  3. 3

    Your building uses it first

    Fans, lights, pumps and machines run on solar power first, so you buy less from the grid.

  4. 4

    Extra power is stored or sold

    A battery stores the extra (hybrid, off-grid), or it goes to the grid and earns credit (on-grid, hybrid).

  5. 5

    At night or on cloudy days

    The battery and the grid fill the gap automatically. You do not need to switch anything.

System types

Which system is right for you?

The difference is simple: does it have a battery, and is it connected to the grid?

Best for lowering your bill

On-grid

Connected to the grid, no battery. Lowest cost per unit; can earn from net metering. Switches off in a power cut for safety.

Best for saving and backup

Hybrid

Grid plus battery. Saves on the bill by day and keeps key loads running during load-shedding.

Best where there is no grid

Off-grid

Panels and battery only. Fully independent; battery size decides how long it runs.

Benefits

Why people switch to solar

  • Lower electricity bill

    Daytime power comes from your own roof.

  • Power in load-shedding

    With a battery, key loads keep running.

  • Earn from extra power

    Net metering pays for power you export.

  • Long life

    Panels are built to last for decades; warranty years are shown per package.

  • Less generator use

    Lower diesel cost, less noise and smoke.

  • Cleaner energy

    Every unit from the sun is a unit not burned.

Government support

The rules are on your side

Bangladesh is actively pushing rooftop solar. Here is what the official rules say, in plain words.

Rules checked on30 September 2026

  1. 2025

    Net Metering Guideline 2025

    • Solar up to 100% of your sanctioned load (was 70%)
    • Single-phase customers can now join
    • Prepaid and smart meters are allowed
    • Payment for exported power to your bank or mobile banking account
    • Online application

    Power Division circular

    • Rooftop solar is required for many new commercial and industrial connections of 10 kW or more
    • Homes under 10 kW can join by choice

    National Rooftop Solar Programme

    • The government's plan and targets to grow rooftop solar across the country

The utility makes the final decision on every application. We help you understand the process; we do not promise approval.

What you get

A complete system, not just panels

Every installation is designed, built and tested as one system, with the safety parts that keep it running for years.

  • Site survey: roof, shade and wiring check
  • System design sized to your usage
  • Solar panels and inverter
  • Mounting structure for your roof
  • DC and AC wiring with breakers
  • Earthing and surge protection
  • Installation, testing and handover
  • After-sales support

Questions

Common questions

What is the difference between on-grid, hybrid and off-grid?
On-grid has no battery and is connected to the grid. Hybrid has a battery and the grid. Off-grid has a battery and no grid. The diagram above shows each one.
Will solar work during load-shedding?
Only with a battery (hybrid or off-grid). An on-grid system switches off when the grid is down, for the safety of line workers.
How much roof space do I need?
It depends on the system size and panel type. The estimate shows an approximate area, and the site survey measures your actual usable roof.
Can I sell extra electricity to the grid?
Yes, under the Net Metering Guideline 2025, after your utility approves the application and installs a net meter.
What maintenance does a solar system need?
Mainly keeping the panels clean from dust and checking the system occasionally. We explain everything at handover.

Also need substation or panel work?

The same engineers build substations, HT/LT panels and wiring for utilities, industry and buildings.
