Dear Sir,
With due respect, we should like to inform you that is a great pleasure for us to
submit the final project on Study on Solar Irrigation System in Bangladesh
for Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering as requirement
bachelor degree/ program. This project provided us with a practical exposure to
the overall working environment and very good experience which is prevailing
in to professional life. We came to know about many things regarding the
current world on the concept of Electronic Development. We have tried to our
best to put through effort for the preparation of this report. Any short coming or
fault may arise as our unintentional mistake we will whole heartily welcome for
any clarification and suggestion about any view and conception disseminated
through this project.
We hope and strongly believe that this project will meet the requirement as well
as satisfying your purpose. We will available for any further classification in
this regard.
Sincerely Yours,

ABSTRACT
Bangladesh is an ago based country eolith high population density. Every year,
the power distribution at the time of cultivation becomes a point of criticality.
Solar photovoltaic pumping could be a way out to the termers of Bangladesh
from the energy crisis. This work studies the prospect of solar photovoltaic
technology integrated to irrigation systems in Bangladesh. Carbon credit will be
an added benefit.
