Energy policy is at the heart of the issues affecting the implementation of solar energy in Ghana. Others include solar energy usage in power generation as well as heating and cooling purposes, technical feasibility, equipment supply, and manufacture, as well as financing. Fig. 6. Key considerations for solar implementation .
As Ghana prioritized energy in its Intentionally nationally determined contributions (INDCs) with a target of 100% electricity access by 2030, an increase in solar energy generation can also aid in the earlier achievement of this target. The framing of solar energy deployment as a strategy for sustainable economic growth is strongly recommended.
The objective of this study is to investigate the potential contribution of solar energy in achieving universal access to electricity in Ghana by 2030. The study further assesses the CO 2 emission reductions that could result from the deployment of solar energy projects towards achieving universal access to electricity.
Daily solar insolation levels range from 4 kWh/m 2 to 6 kWh/m 2 with an annual sunshine duration range between 1800 and 3000 h per annum which offers a high potential for solar electricity generation . This data is further confirmed in the Solar Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA) report on Ghana . Fig. 4. GHI solar map of Ghana .
To promote solar technology in Ghana, Strategic Security Systems (3SiL) began the solar PV module assembly in Ghana in 2015 with a production capacity of 30 MW of modules per year. Other companies include Halo International in 2016 with a production capacity of 15 MW per year and Atlas Business and Energy Systems (ABES).
The Government of Ghana has an unconditional emissions reduction target of 15 percent relative to a business-as-usual scenario by 2030, and a more ambitious target of 45 percent emissions reduction by 2030 conditional upon external support. Solar PV has long been a priority and is known to have high potential for clean development impact in Ghana.
