Project Highlights
Each 8-meter-high streetlight is equipped with a 60-watt solar panel and an integrated lithium-ion battery system, designed to provide up to 12 hours of illumination after a full day’s charge. The lights are strategically placed along roads, near schools, markets, and healthcare centers in villages previously reliant on unreliable grid power or kerosene lamps.
Community Impact
Residents have welcomed the project, citing improved safety for women and children after dark, extended business hours for local vendors, and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. “Before, this road was pitch-black at night. Now, my children can study longer, and we feel secure walking home,” said Ayesha Begum, a resident of Satkhira District.
Sustainability Focus
The solar streetlights are projected to offset over 85 tons of CO2 annually, aligning with Bangladesh’s national goals to expand renewable energy access. KASN’s system also includes weather-resistant designs and remote monitoring technology to ensure longevity and ease of maintenance in monsoon-prone areas.
Corporate Vision
“Access to clean energy is a right, not a privilege,” stated Dr. Rahman Ali, KASN’s CEO. “This project isn’t just about lighting streets—it’s about empowering communities, boosting local economies, and fighting climate change. We aim to scale this model nationwide.”
Partnerships and Future Plans
The initiative was implemented in collaboration with local governments and NGOs, with funding from international green energy grants. KASN has announced plans to install an additional 500 solar streetlights in Bangladesh and neighboring countries by mid-2025.
