Solar power in Bangladesh

Hello there, I'm interested in setting up a small kit in Bangladesh as the sun is strong and plentifull as a trial to test it's usefullness. I'm unsure what to try as a starter. Can you suggest something please for me?

Many thanks
Kind regards

Hi Saiduz,

Bangladesh would certainly be a good place for solar power!

It depends what you want to power from the panel. I would suggest the smallest setup that would be of much use would be a Spectra 20W solar panel, with a Morningstar Sunguard regulator; you would attach that to a 12V lead-acid battery (which I'm sure would be available locally). That wouldn't give a great deal of power, but perhaps enough to run a radio and a fluorescent light or two in the evenings. However, it would give you an idea of what could be achieved with a larger setup.
