Bangladesh is a land of its people. Electricity is the main indicator for development of Bangladesh. But electricity is not sufficient and available. For this reason, Bangladesh Government has taken Initiative to use alternative energy power. Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) which is the autonomous Organization of Bangladesh Government is going to implement Solar Home is system (SHS) through the Partner organizations. Our Organization, DESHA is a Partner Organization of IDCOL and has been implementing SHS from December, 2009. SHS isa small renewable energy, which is used for Light, Black-White TV and Mobile Charger in Rural Off-Grid areas as the power of 10 to 300Watt peak (Wp). SHS is the hopeful Project to solve the problem of lighting in all over the country. Much people of rural off-grid areas are living under poverty line. Under the program the Solar Home Systems (SHS) are sold to customers on long term credit. IDCOL provides small subsidy in order to reduce the price and refinances 70%-80% of client’s loan. As per guideline and warranty policy of IDCOL, DESHA ensures free of cost after sales service to the clients. Subsidy and refinancing is no longer available.
