The Bangladeshi government requires new residential, educational, healthcare, industrial and commercial buildings to install net metering solar systems as a prerequisite for grid integration. As a result, the country will see a significant increase in rooftop photovoltaic power generation.

Under the new rules, buildings with a roof area of more than 92.2 square metres must install a net metering solar system. Owners wishing to achieve single-phase grid integration must install net-metered solar mounting systems with a minimum capacity of 1 kW, while those requiring three-phase grid integration must meet the 3 kW capacity requirement. These rules also apply to schools, hospitals and charitable organisations with a minimum roof area of 1,000 square feet.
