In Bangladesh, much like in India, houses connected to the national power grid face rolling, regular blackouts. That’s why solar power is such an appealing technology to those in developing nations—creating your own energy source eliminates national grid driven blackouts. Now the Bangladeshi government is highly incentivizing private companies to install solar throughout the nation, with aims to have everyone in the country connected to solar by 2021. Additionally the World Bank is funding projects to build solar plants that will generate enough electricity for 6 million households by 2017.
