Bangladesh Begins Solar Module Exports

Wedoany.com Report-Jun 28, Bangladesh has started exporting photovoltaic modules, transitioning from an import-reliant nation to a global supplier. Radiant Alliance, based in Dhaka, shipped its first consignment in a 40-foot container to CleanGrid Incorporation in the United States, fulfilling part of a 64.60 MW order.

The modules, 100 W and 200 W PERC and TOPCon types, were produced at Radiant Alliance’s 600 MW factory in Ashulia, near Dhaka, capable of manufacturing modules from 50 W to 700 W. Solar cells were sourced from Laos and Indonesia. The company is in discussions with two U.S. clients for 600 MW to 700 MW in 2026 and is exploring African markets.

Masudur Rahim, CEO of Radiant Alliance Limited, stated: “As the world embraces sustainable alternatives, Radiant Alliance Limited is proud to lead the way in bringing ‘Made in Bangladesh’ solar technology to the international stage.” Dipal C Barua, former BSREA president, said: “Exporting solar modules to the United States is a big achievement for a country that had long been totally import-dependent.”

While Bangladesh imports most solar modules from China, its renewable energy capacity reaches 1,550 MW, with 1,256 MW from solar, reflecting progress in sustainable energy development.
