Embracing solar energy in Ghana offers substantial cost savings, a significant draw for many homeowners. Traditional electricity sources, often dependent on fossil fuels, are subject to price fluctuations that can strain household budgets. Solar power, leveraging Ghana’s abundant sunlight, provides a more stable and predictable cost.
Many areas in Ghana experience unreliable power access, which can disrupt daily activities and hinder progress. However, solar homes can overcome this challenge by generating electricity on-site. With a solar power system in place, homeowners can enjoy a continuous power supply, regardless of any disruptions in the grid.
As Ghana strides towards a sustainable future, solar power emerges as a beacon of hope for homeowners. With the global shift to renewable energy sources gaining momentum, the benefits of solar energy in residential settings are becoming increasingly apparent.
Source: World Bank, 2016. With an expanding market for the installation of solar PV systems in Africa, it naturally can be expected that companies which produce solar PV modules locally will emerge and become more common.
This suggests that with the right regulatory framework and access to finance, competitive cost structures for utility-scale solar PV are achievable throughout Africa. The key uncertainties are whether these projects actually will reach financial close and if these ex-ante cost estimates can be achieved. 20 See Enel Green Power (2016).
Most of the grid-connected residential solar PV systems in Africa are installed either in North African countries or in South Africa. Tunisia and South Africa in particular have established markets, while Morocco has successfully used solar PV to electrify villages. These markets have competitive costs compared to OECD countries.
