Solar EPC for Rice Mills & Grain Processing in Bangladesh
Reduce diesel dependency and cut electricity costs for rice mills, paddy dryers and grain processing facilities. Solar with net-metering delivers 4–6 year payback.
Typical Capacity: 50 kWp – 1 MWp | Bill Savings: 40–60% | Payback: 4–6 years
Why Solar for Rice Mills?
- Diesel Replacement: Many rice mills in rural Bangladesh rely on diesel generators. Solar reduces or eliminates diesel dependency, saving BDT 25–35 per kWh compared to diesel generation.
- Paddy Dryer Power: Solar directly powers paddy dryers during peak harvest season (October–February) when solar irradiance is highest, so generation lines up with peak demand.
- REB Net-Metering: Rice mills connected to Rural Electrification Board (REB) can apply for net-metering and export surplus solar power for bill credits.
- Large Roof Areas: Rice mills typically have large, unobstructed shed rooftops that suit high-capacity solar installations with minimal mounting complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much can a rice mill save with solar? (রাইস মিলে সোলার লাগালে কত সাশ্রয় হয়?)
- A medium rice mill with a 100 kWp solar system saves approximately BDT 8–10 lakh per year on electricity and diesel costs. Payback period is typically 4–6 years.
- Can solar work for rice mills connected to REB (Rural Electrification Board)?
- Yes. REB connections are eligible for net-metering under the Net Metering Guidelines 2025, Power Division. Vvon Technologies handles all REB net-metering applications and SREDA registration.
- What size solar system does a rice mill need?
- System size depends on your mill's connected load and roof area. A small rice mill typically needs 30–100 kWp; a large automated mill may need 300–500 kWp. Vvon provides free load analysis and system sizing as part of our feasibility study.
