President of IEB Abdus Sabur  spoke as the chief guest while chairman of Electrical Engineering division of the Institution Julfikar Ali presided over the seminar. 

In his welcome speech Sheikh Tajul Islam Tuhin said that the promotion of rooftop solar should be increased through the net metering system. In this way a solar owner is also a power producer and  can supply electricity to the national grid.

"The more we can increase rooftop solar with net metering, the more self-sufficient we will be in power generation," he said.

Emphasising on increasing the awareness of the use of solar panel in rural areas, they also said increasing the use of renewable energy will reduce the impact of natural calamities.

Secretary of electrical engineering division, IEB Engr S M Al Imran conducted the seminar.
