Abstract. World-wide a small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) system is increasingly becoming a popular power source for domestic application. In contrast, large-scale solar power plants are
Building Owners'' Willingness to Pay for Solar PV Systems: A Study in Dhaka City, Bangladesh, The Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Dhaka, Vol. 2 (1): 35-42.
Dhaka''s wetlands, vital for flood control, biodiversity and livelihoods, are vanishing under urbanisation and climate stress. Restoring them through initiatives like ReWET could
Moreover, Bangladesh is blessing with sufficient solar insolation that is very much potential for large power plant implementation [4]. So, in this research work, a 100 MW grid-connected
Despite the growing interest, scant information on large-scale solar power generation especially in rural and inaccessible locations is available in the public domain.
In contrast, wetlands ecosystems have received less attention in research and policy. Therefore, we made a rst attempt to unravel the Spatio-temporal dynamics of wetlands
Given the escalating urbanisation in Bangladesh, our findings recommend diversifying solar PV deployment with a focus on RPV and other PV systems that offer dual
The coastal zone, rich in solar, wind, and biomass resources, was selected for system design, optimization, and implementation. Simulations show that a solar and biomass
Despite the recognized role of wetlands in providing ecological benefits for human wellbeing, ~70% of global wetland ecosystems have been destroyed since the 1990s. Further
Wetlands, such as those around Gulshan-Baridhara Lake, play a crucial role in cooling the city and acting as natural buffers against floods but, since the 1960s, Dhaka has
Bangladesh is shifting focus to increase solar capacity through mid-size and utility-scale power plants as its fossil-fuel dominated grid expands, surpassing participation in the

Hence, the primary objective of this study is to design a large-scale (100 MW) solar power plant for wetland areas in Bangladesh. For the 100 MW power plant, a total of 166,670 solar modules (each of which is 2,070mm long, 1,390 mm wide and 45mm thick with 600 W power capacity) have been used.
Bangladesh is shifting focus to increase solar capacity through mid-size and utility-scale power plants as its fossil-fuel dominated grid expands, surpassing participation in the world’s largest off-grid solar program.
Restoring Dhaka's wetlands is not merely an exercise in ecological recovery. It is a chance to rebuild the city's capacity to thrive under pressure from climate change and urbanisation. Wetlands are dynamic systems, offering overlapping benefits across several domains.
With their ability to absorb and retain water, Dhaka’s wetlands act as natural reservoirs, reducing the risk of urban flooding.
