Irrigation is one of the major part of Bangladesh economy. In most of the area Farmers don’t have the access to grid electricity for well pump so demand of solar powered well pump is increasing. Currently, there are almost 1.61 million irrigation pumps running in the country, of which 1.34 million are diesel-run. The country now has around 120 solar irrigation pumps . A farmer has to pay $38 -$52 USD for each bigha of land as irrigation charge during a crop season for diesel or electricity run pump, whereas for solar irrigation pumps it is $32-Tk $36 USD.

The installation of a solar pump with a capacity to lift around daily 0.5 million liters of water, sufficient to irrigate 15-20 acres, along with other costs will require around USD $32100. Though it is very expensive for farmer to install, Bangladesh Government is giving huge amount of subsidy to promote it. Considering its immense potential, Idcol (Government’s Organization) has now set a target of installing 1,550 solar irrigation pumps by 2017. Idcol provides financial support to solar irrigation projects based on debt, equity and grant ratio of 40:20:40. Subsidy of 40 percent and concessional financing of only 6 percent interest rate a year enable the sponsors to install pumps and sell water at an affordable rate.

Don't mind me while I bump some threads in the solar PV forum. If they're not current or applicable topics, just ignore the threads; they'll drop off the page. If they are, feel free to chip in and chat solar stuff in the solar panels forum.
