Motivate investments in Solar PV systems for households and SMEs in Ghana. In recent years, Ghana has made great advances when it comes to renewable energy and energy efficiency, and is seen as a role-model within the West African region.
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.
Solar generation could contribute 8.1% of residential demand or 26.8% to non-residential demand in 2030. Approximately 784.13 thousand GW of solar energy could be contributed by 2030. As island communities are the main targets of solar off-grid systems, the visionary scenario could help Ghana attain the 100% electrification rate by the 2030 target.
Solar power mainly refers to solar energy for electricity generation and lighting purposes , . In Ghana, solar electrification is one of the key applications championing solar energy implementation . Efforts in the sector are summarized in Table SM 3.
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 .
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).
