Summary. This paper develops optimal models for off-grid renewable energy systems to electrify rural homes in Bangladesh, where 72% of the population lacks reliable electricity. Researchers analyzed solar, biomass, and hybrid systems for a village in Sirazganj district using HOMER optimization software. The comparative analysis evaluated net present cost and energy cost across the three models to identify the most economically viable solution for rural electrification.
