Spire to provide solar PV module line to Bangladesh
Spire Corporation announced it has supplied a solar module manufacturing line along with systems technology to Rahimafrooz Renewable Energy, Ltd., Bangladesh.
"Sixty-five percent of Bangladesh is not connected to the national grid, making electricity scarce and expensive so the solar market is growing," said Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation. "Spire is providing Rahimafrooz with an advanced module manufacturing line capable of assembling 20MW per year of solar modules. Spire is also providing Rahimafrooz with PV system design and manufacturing technology which will give them the opportunity to provide modules and systems for rural electricity."
Rahimafrooz Renewable Energy has installed PV on more than 100,000 homes directly and has supported in providing solar energy in another 600,000 homes in Bangladesh since 2003. Rahimafrooz also provides solar-hybrid solutions for Telecom Operators' BTS towers and solar powered irrigation systems in Bangladesh.
