Solar vs Generator: Stick to Generators or Switch to Solar?

In Bangladesh’s rapidly growing industrial sector, reliable power is the foundation of productivity. From spinning and textile mills to manufacturing and footwear factories, every operation depends on continuous electricity. For decades, diesel generators have been the backup solution during power outages. But as fuel costs rise and industries focus on sustainability and efficiency, a new question has emerged: Should factories stick to generators—or switch to solar?

The Real Cost of Generators

Generators may appear to be a dependable choice, but they come with long-term drawbacks that reduce profitability and efficiency.

1. High Fuel Expenses: Constant fluctuations in diesel prices make energy budgeting unpredictable and expensive.
2. Frequent Maintenance: Generators require regular servicing, oil replacement, and parts that drive up operational costs
3. Noise and Pollution: Generators contribute to carbon emissions and noise pollution, affecting both the environment and workplace conditions.
4. Short Equipment Lifespan: Heavy usage reduces generator efficiency, resulting in frequent replacements and increased capital costs.

When these factors are combined, the total cost of running generators over several years far exceeds the one-time investment in solar energy.

Why Industries Are Switching to Solar

Forward-thinking industries are turning to solar power as a cleaner, more economical, and future-ready energy source. A rooftop solar system doesn’t just provide power — it builds long-term resilience and brand credibility.

- Lower Energy Costs: Rooftop solar systems can reduce electricity bills by 40–60%, depending on factory load and sunlight hours - Sustainable Operations: Utilizing renewable energy enhances corporate reputation and helps meet the sustainability standards of global buyers. - Low Maintenance: Once installed, solar panels operate efficiently with minimal maintenance for up to 25 years. - Energy Independence: Solar systems reduce dependence on unstable grid supply and diesel fuel imports.
