Sun oriented Energy is an extraordinary
hotspot for tackling power emergency in Bangladesh. The
fundamental reason for this research was to decide the
livelihood improvement of the beneficiaries through solar
home system (SHS) at Gangachara upazila of Rangpur
district and Hatibandha upazila of Lalmonirhat district
under Renewable Energy Development in Remote off
Grid and Char Areas in Bangladesh Project. A poll based
overview strategy was utilized to gather essential
information from the time of September 2020 to October
2020. A sum of 9280 PDBF beneficiaries of Gangachara
upazila utilizing SHS were comprised the number of
population of the study. The sample size of this research
work was 369. A reserve list of 37 (about 10 % of the
sample) was prepared for this study. All charts and
diagrams were prepared using the software such as MS
Excel and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The study found that
solar electrification provided direct and indirect
improvement of livelihood to the users of the system, with
many implications of a permanent nature. A correlation
coefficient between the livelihood improvement by using
of Solar Home System (SHS) with occupation, receiving
training and problem faced (-.137, .744 and -.259
respectively) were significantly correlated (P<0.01). It
brought about less contamination, greater light and more
long stretches of light at night, just as less work for
cleaning lamp fuel lights. Sun oriented force give to the
general solace and fulfillment of the consumer.
Government and the private sector should take more
initiatives to disseminate SHSs and develop infrastructure
to solve our power crisis problem.
