Abstract
Bangladesh is a country with hundreds of rivers. The country is divided into eight divisions and each of the divisions have a number of river deltas in them, where the cost of land is very less and thus highly attractive for developing solar projects on the river deltas. However, due to varying geographical locations, each of the divisions of Bangladesh receive varying amount of solar irradiation and thus for the same system design (100 kW in this study), different divisions need different number of solar panels, mounting system, power capacity of inverter and amount of land, this in turn affects the financial parameters and thus feasibility of the system. This paper presents the analysis of 100 kW grid-connected solar photovoltaic system developed on the river deltas of each division of Bangladesh separately in terms of the quantity of land required to develop such system in each of the divisions along with several financial aspects to determine the feasibility of the system. Each 100kW solar grid has the capacity to eliminate the emission of around 166 tons of greenhouse gases yearly and thus has massive environmental impact.
