In recent years, the Sustainable Development Goals has managed to shepherd the reduction of energy poverty and extension of sustainable energy, making both international objectives. Using two-period data collected in Bangladesh, we assess the impact of the solar home system (SHS), a promising technology to facilitate multidimensional outcomes from both monetary and non-monetary aspects such as education, health, and security. The results revealed that SHS contributes to the reduced consumption of cow dung and kerosene; extended study hours for children aged 6–15 years; and increased non-farm income and expenditures on food, clothing, and education. However, no significant effect was observed on security and health conditions
