Kundu, Nobinkhor (2014): Sustainable Renewable Energy for Development: Access to Finance on Solar Energy for Bangladesh. Published in: Janata Bank Journal of Money, Finance and Development , Vol. 1, No. 2 (28 December 2014): pp. 111-125.

Abstract

Bangladesh will achieve considerable success in acceleration of economic growth of course need for sustainable renewable energy for development. At the present Government of Bangladesh takes the different financing models that have been developed and tested for renewable energy projects, especially solar energy, in urban and rural communities and energy efficiency improvement projects. Logistic regressions have been presented with the dependent variable as an indicator of the probability generates daily solar energy performance. In analysis, primary data and found that all the explanatory variables have a significant impact on the log of daily generates solar energy performance, whose p-value is statistically significant. When successful with these new approaches, the government should also be providing support for the thriving solar energy and energy efficiency technology projects for sustainable renewable energy development in Bangladesh.
