1.0 Introduction
1.1 Origin of the Report
This project plan on “ Solar-powered Water Pumping Project in Rural Bangladesh”
was prepared as a requirement for the course Project Management (MGT 410),
instructed by our course instructor Mr. Abu Md. Abdullah, Faculty of Business
Administration, Eastern University.
1.2 Objective of the Report
The main objective of the report was to come up with a project proposal that wouldhave social and economic values in Bangladesh, and then come up with a project
plan to implement it.
1.3 Scope of the Report
There are vast amount of information available on solar energy implementation, for
our purposes we have mainly concentrated on solar energy implementation in the
Indian subcontinent.
1.4 Methodology of the Report
For the purpose of this report secondary data collection method was used. The
secondary data were mainly collected from various online sources.
1.5 Limitations of the Report
Due to constraints of time and availability of relevant data we could not provide a
much more in-depth analysis regarding the solar energy market of Bangladesh.

2.1 Industry overview
There is a looming energy crisis world-wide. It arises not only from shrinking
reserves of fossil fuels and the public concern on the continued use of fossil fuel for
energy generation, but also from ageing nuclear power plants (in the developed
countries) which are going to cease operation in a relatively near future. There is a
global realization that fossil fuel usage must be reduced drastically in order to arrest
green house gas (mainly CO 2) emission to the atmosphere, which causes global
warming. In fact, this aspect of global warming, rather than the imminent shortage
of fossil fuel, that is propelling all industrialized countries into taking urgent actions
now. Commercial nuclear power all over the world is undergoing an unprecedented
revival. But some countries, such as Germany, Italy and few others, are reluctant to
jump into the nuclear bandwagon and, instead, concentrating on research and
development of alternative sources of clean energy, particularly the solar energy.
Out of these alternative sources, solar power seems very promising. The following
diagram, Figure 1 , shows the world wide growth of solar photovoltaic power from
year 2000 to 2008. But even this fantastic growth is dwarfed by the phenomenal
growth that is anticipated from year 2009 to 2020, which is shown in Figure 2 .

supply to the fertilizer factories is going to affect the agricultural output. With load
shedding across the country, industrial sector is adversely affected, with the
consequence of reduced volume of industrial output and diminished export
earnings.
There are only 125,000 irrigation pumps for 22 million acres of cultivable land in
Bangladesh. Most of these are diesel driven, because only 30% of villages could
potentially be connected to electricity from the national grid. Electrification of the
remaining villages, by grid extension, may have a substantial short-term impact on
the economy, since electrically operated irrigation pumps are cheaper and service a
higher irrigated area per hour than diesel pumps. However, 85% of national
electricity generation is sourced from natural gas, with 46% already used directly inagricultural production. Natural gas reserves may be exhausted by 2015 if the
current trend of consumption is continued, and National Energy Policy predicts the
country would need to import fuel to meet a deficit of 6.75 % in electricity
generation by 2,000 and 47% by 2020. Currently, Bangladesh imports about 2
million tons of crude oil and petroleum products every year, which accounts for 9%
of the total import costs and requires 15% of the total export earnings.34
2.2 Company Overview:
Alo limited is a private limited business and will be formed within the next three
months. It will be located in rural Mymensingh and will serve the people of the
region with solar energy for irrigation pumps and lighting. It is coming in the
country for the first time to meet the problems of the people regarding electricity
and load shedding.
In the bigger picture, the possible benefits will include reliving some of the pressure
off the national power grid so that it can concentrate in providing power to urban
consumers. The use of electric pumps can improve productivity in agriculture and
provide cleaner water for the public water supply. Further future possible benefits
can include household lighting, the ability to refrigerate food and medicine, and

food processing. Access to electricity also can make grain milling and agricultural
processing less expensive and more convenient. The presence of electricity in a
village also can result in better lighting for schools, health clinics and public streets.

The operation of the system will be automatic. When the sun is shining the solar panels
will convert the sunlight into electricity. The system wiring will carry the power
through the charge controller and to the batteries. The power controller will turn the
pump on and off. The pump will get its power from the batteries continuously
throughout the day.
A typical solar water pumping system
3.1 System Requirements:
3.1.1 Location
The most important element for choosing a site for one of these systems is
access to unobstructed sunlight. Photovoltaic panels work optimally in
direct sunlight, and are not at all shade tolerant. Any shadows cast on the
solar panels will significantly reduce their power output. For this initial
system we are also looking for a highly visible location in order to get as
much public exposure for the project as possible.
The centre will have a size of 25 m x 15 m. There will be a few rooms, one
canteen and one workshop and some free space used for multiple purposes.
6
8/2/2019 New Project Plan

The rooms will be used for working and training purpose. The very simple
local construction methods will be used to build the centre. Supporting with
some steel pillars in every 5 m distance within all the major boundaries to
form the lattice structure on which the photovoltaic modules will be
installed, the roof of this centre will be constructed as monopitch roof with
an inclination of 5° covered with the corrugated sheet. The construction
work of the centre and the installation of modules could be done parallel
immediate after the competition of fundament of the centre.
Location
3.1.2 Power source
Each solar cell produces about 0.5 volts in bright sunlight. Solar
cells are linked together in a series to form a module and to
7
8/2/2019 New Project Plan

produce the required voltage. Solar modules are linked together
in a series and in parallel to provide the power levels needed for
the required application
Solar Modules
3.1.3 Motor/pump assembly
Off–the–shelf, mass produced motors and pumps can be used for solar water
pumping. Special pumps and motor have also been developed for solar systems.
Motor/pump Assembly
3.1.4 Power controllers
There are several types of power controllers available:
8

• Impedance matching devices (such as power maximisers)
• DC to AC inverters (used with AC pumps only)
• Switches and protective controllers.
Power Controllers and Inverters
3.1.5 Water storage
Solar water pumping systems are generally not designed to operate as on–
demand pressure systems. Water is pumped during daylight hours and stored for
use as required. Solar water pumping systems are generally not designed to

Photovoltaic panels (either one or two 3'x 5' +/- panels, depending on if
the system will be powering lights only or with LED displays.
Mounting structure: An aluminum ‘A’ frame with all stainless steel
hardware will be integrated into the existing bus stop structure.
Charge controller and lighting controller: This device prevents the solar
panels from overcharging the batteries. It also provides lighting control
to turn the lights on and off automatically.
Batteries: Sealed, maintenance-free batteries will be used. Depending on
the size of the system the battery bank will be located either above the
shelter in a sealed enclosure, or in the house where it would be used.
Optional battery charger. At homes that have existing utility power
available, an AC battery charging circuit can be incorporated into the
system. This can help reduce the size of the battery needed, and will also
be an additional example of how a solar power system can integrate in
homes and businesses.

5.0Marketing plan
13
8/2/2019 New Project Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/new-project-plan 14/18
The product marketing plan involves engaging the consumer in the ongoing financial and
environmental benefits, and initial installation rebates. A value-based pricing strategy
reduces the focus on system cost by refocusing the investment on the value. The solarprogram initiatives should include the four classic elements of marketing — product, price,
place and promotion.
Marketing solar programs must also address all four primary barriers — cost, reliability,
complexity and inertia — to market growth in order to drive solar power installations. In
order for the marketing plan to succeed it must address the technology’s value proposition,
its perception of unreliability, the complexity of purchasing solar and consumer inertia.
A robust action plan will ensure consumer awareness is improved and sales are increased.
Consumer feedback will be collected to measure the effectiveness of the marketing plan,
using traditional external data collection tools.
6.0 Organizational plan

7.0 Social & Economic Value
15
8/2/2019 New Project Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/new-project-plan 16/18
The social and economic values of using solar power are numerous; they can be
categorized into environmental, economic, social advantages.
7.1 Economic Solar Energy Advantages
• Can be permitted and installed faster than other traditional or renewable power plants.
• Has a predictable energy curve and is most efficient when utility rates are attheir highest.• Produces local, on-site energy, which reduces the need for extensive high-voltage transmission lines or a complex infrastructure.• Reliable over the long term. With no moving parts, fixed photovoltaicsystems last longer than other energy sources.• Predictable pricing that is equal to or below retail energy rates.• Solar water pumps perform at their best and provide water throughoutsummer months when demand is greatest.
7.2 Environmental Solar Energy Advantages
• Clean, quiet and visually unobtrusive in nature. Solar energy plants do nothave any polluting emissions, do not make any sound, and are not considered to
be an "eyesore."• Uses little to no water in the production of zero-emission electricity.• Can be placed in virtually every geographical region because the sun isavailable everywhere.• Offsets the need for polluting, expensive and inefficient "peaker" power
plants.
7.3 Social Solar Energy Advantages
• Creates clean, renewable energy that will sustain and support the health of future generations.

• Is a distributed generation ("DG") energy source that can mitigate nationalsecurity concerns about energy disruption.• Supports national energy independence because solar electricity is usedwhere it is generated.• This project is intended to provide electricity services in remote and isolated
rural areas where the cost of a grid electricity service would be prohibitively
high and could not be made available in the near future
8.0 s Conclusion
17
8/2/2019 New Project Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/new-project-plan 18/18
Implementation of this project will create tremendous enthusiasm about solar energy
technology. Replacing the diesel generator in rural areas by solar Photovoltaic will create
positive socio-economic impact and great enthusiasm among the local villagers, farmers.
This successful demonstration of solar energy technology to remote and end users level
will create good potential of expanding the project further.
