The fossil fuel is decreasing rapidly and excessive use of such fuels is also hazardous for the environment. Hence, renewable energy usage is the inevitable alternative to meet up electricity demand for the developing country like Bangladesh. Although solar technology has nearly been successful in rural areas where most of the technologies are adopted based on Solar Home System(SHS), it has not yet been effective in urban areas after the imposed rule of installing solar system to get new electricity connection from power utility for various reasons. In this paper, the investigation result of the installed solar system in an area in Dhaka is presented. The overall problems regarding the connection of the system components are analyzed. Efficiency calculation for the active solar home systems is provided through cost comparison analysis by HOMER software. Some proposals are provided which can be implemented to make the concept of solar home system popular in urban ares of Bangladesh to decrease the pressure on our national grid.
