Off-grid fish hatcheries in Bangladesh, and their surrounding communities, rely extensively on diesel and kerosene to provide electricity needed to pump water and provide light. Use of kerosene and diesel, in addition to being costly, pollutes the environment and threatens the food chain and human health. The households around hatcheries typically rear fish in small ponds, using fingerlings from the hatchery for part of the year. A cost-effective, clean energy solution is expected to reduce energy costs and increase productivity for hatcheries and household fish-raisers while also providing domestic energy access.[1]
