Singapore-based Solaric Group utilized Bangladesh’s first government-led solar expo to promote its industrial rooftop projects, saying it has built 196 megawatt-peak (MWp) of capacity across 85 active projects in the South Asian country.
The company, formally Solar Intercontinental Limited, exhibited at the two-day Bangladesh Solar Expo 2026 on Nov. 3-4 at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre in Dhaka, according to a press release published by The Business Standard.
Solaric cited a 52 MWp project for Youngone Corporation at the Korean Export Processing Zone in Chattogram, which it describes as the world’s largest rooftop solar engineering, procurement and construction contract. It also said it installed a 28 MWp plant for Ha-Meem Group. The figures could not be independently verified.
“Our goal is to accelerate the adoption of affordable and sustainable solar energy across the industrial sector,” Naznin Akhter, Solaric’s director of business development, said in the press release.

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman inaugurated the expo, which the Power Division and the Infrastructure Development Company Limited organised to promote rooftop solar and attract private investment, local media reported. Its slogan urged users to make every inch of rooftop count. Four seminars covered policy, public-sector installations and financing.
Akhter attended a seminar on scaling rooftop solar in the public sector alongside Power Division and Asian Development Bank officials, The Bangladesh Today reported.
The government has issued a Special Solar Power Ordinance 2026 to simplify administrative procedures and adopted a National Renewable Energy Development Strategy 2026-2030 to raise renewable generation, Bangladesh Post reported.
Solaric said it hopes to meet industrial entrepreneurs, investors and technology providers through the event. Monowar Hossain Khan, a member of parliament for Magura-1, visited the company’s stall, Solaric said in a LinkedIn post. Company executives have previously argued that rooftop systems suit Bangladesh because land is scarce.
