Abstract

The proposed rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) demonstrates a sustainable energy solution addressing Bangladesh’s energy challenges. The system has a capacity of 83.2 kWp and is estimated to generate 129.5 MWh of energy annually. This deployment reduces reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to global Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7). The performance evaluation reveals a Performance Ratio (PR) of 79.4%, ensuring efficient solar resource utilization. Economically, the project involves a total investment of

${\$}$

101,031, achieving annual energy cost savings of

${\$}$

5,370. Financial feasibility metrics include a Net Present Value (NPV) of

${\$}$

99,131.5, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 6%, and a Payback Period (PBP) of 13 years. Furthermore, the system reduces 50 tons of CO2 emissions annually, resulting in a Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) savings of

${\$}$

77,064 over its 25-year lifespan. The project’s Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) is calculated as

${\$}$

0.03/kWh, reflecting its long-term cost-effectiveness. This analysis highlights the economic, environmental, and performance benefits of implementing a rooftop solar PV system at SBNCS, offering a scalable model for integrating renewable energy into and other stadiums and large infrastructure. This study can aid in the integration of renewable energy into the grid and assist policymakers in facilitating the future energy storage systems and expanding grid-tied operations for enhanced sustainability.

期刊介绍： IEEE Access® is a multidisciplinary, open access (OA), applications-oriented, all-electronic archival journal that continuously presents the results of original research or development across all of IEEE''s fields of interest. IEEE Access will publish articles that are of high interest to readers, original, technically correct, and clearly presented. Supported by author publication charges (APC), its hallmarks are a rapid peer review and publication process with open access to all readers. Unlike IEEE''s traditional Transactions or Journals, reviews are "binary", in that reviewers will either Accept or Reject an article in the form it is submitted in order to achieve rapid turnaround. Especially encouraged are submissions on: Multidisciplinary topics, or applications-oriented articles and negative results that do not fit within the scope of IEEE''s traditional journals. Practical articles discussing new experiments or measurement techniques, interesting solutions to engineering. Development of new or improved fabrication or manufacturing techniques. Reviews or survey articles of new or evolving fields oriented to assist others in understanding the new area.
