Solar Panel is a very good tool for converting solar energy into electricity. Although it is expensive till now, however, electricity produced from the solar panel may be used for operating mobile phones, radio, computers and other small gadgets. 

Although it is very expensive to establish a big Solar Energy set up for operating  heavy industries, but comparatively it is the cheapest energy source for the people living in remote villages for having a taste and flavour of modern livelihood. 

In island, Char, Beel and Haaor areas in Bangladesh, where there is no possibility of establishing connection from the national power grid during next 50 or even 100 years, solar energy definitely can perform there an active role for producing lights for educating the farmers in night schools, establishing 24 hours communication with cellular phones and technology dissemination through radio and television.  We need to remember that educated people is the primary prerequisite for a developed and rich nation. Therefore, we need to educate our people first.
