In the past decade, the number of SHS installations has risen phenomenally--from a five-year target of 50,000 in 2003 to 50,000 a month in 2013, with support from the World Bank and other development partners. Even so, only 10 percent of off-grid households have been reached, suggesting ample room for continued expansion. Given the recent surge in SHS adoption, a key policy issue is whether the partial subsidy provided under the current program, implemented by the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Energy and mining.Solar energyEconomic aspectsBangladeshRural electrificationBangladeshRural developmentBangladeshEconomic developmentBangladeshElectronic books.Solar energyEconomic aspectsRural electrificationRural developmentEconomic development333.792/3095492Khandker Shahidur R.World Bank.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460089003321Surge in solar powered homes2476067UNINA
