Bangladesh hits 1 GW rooftop solar capacity

Reported bypv magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Bangladesh's rooftop solar capacity exceeded 1 GW, according to new analysis from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, which identified 667 MW across 239 establishments and estimated total distributed rooftop solar may already reach approximately 1 GW when smaller installations are included.

Worth noting

Government official figures reported only 418 MW as of June 2026; this analysis suggests actual deployment is substantially higher, but some smaller installations (below 150 kW) were not included due to data limitations.
