Question
(b)
Table 2 below shows the energy consumption and population data for
Bangladesh, for 5 years period. Assume that a square meter conventional
solar panel produces 287.5W of energy with annual efficiency loss rate
of 15% per year and initial cost of $3.10/W. If the government decided
to use solar energy to support at least 5% of the energy demand, estimate
the costs involved to at least sustain the usage of solar-source energy for
the targeted population until 2022.
