Like any other business, new clean energy ventures are facing disruptions to their tempo for the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them are rooftop-based solar projects focusing factory buildings. Yet some Bangladeshi entrepreneurs pushed on with their projects even after the rogue virus brought businesses to their knees.

Paragon Poultry is one of those firms. The leading poultry breeder implemented three new rooftop solar projects of 750 kW during the pandemic to reduce cost and harness other benefits such as a reduction of temperature inside factory premises.

"Initially, the COVID-19 situation was a challenge for us. Later, we were able to overcome that," said Md Moshiur Rahman, managing director of Paragaon Group, which also runs feed and frozen snacks businesses.
