Average capacity factors are calculated using county-level capacity factor averages from the reV model for 1998–2021 (inclusive) of the NSRDB. The NSRDB provides modeled spatiotemporal solar irradiance resource data at 4
Solar energy refers to heat and radiant light from the sun that can be harnessed with technologies such as solar power (used to generate electricity) and solar thermal energy (used for applications such as water heating). The solar energy market in Ghana is segmented by development.
Under the Ghana Mini Grid and Solar Photovoltaic Net Metering Project, 12,000 net-metered solar PV systems will be installed for public institutions, small and medium-sized businesses, and selected households. The grant will be used to install capacities of up to 67.5 MW.
Stand-alone solar PV mini-grids or solar PV-hybrid mini-grids have installed costs in Africa ranging from USD 1.9 to USD 5.9/W for systems greater than 200 kW. Solar PV mini-grids that came online in 2012 or earlier have higher costs.
SolarNow in Uganda, for example, ofers packages such as the following: 250 W system with 15 lights for USD 85 per month with a deposit of USD 431. Similar pre-paid models are being implemented broadly in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda by M-KOPA SOLAR, and in Ghana by PEG Ghana Solar.
Kenya Renewable Energy Association also pointed out that, “The average solar PV system size for households in Kenya is 25-30Wp. The typical cost of installed systems is about 12 USD/Wp installed” (KEREA, n.d.). At the distributor level, price data for SHS provide useful insights into the diferent capabilities and costs of diferent systems.
The systems in West Africa for which IRENA has data are smaller in size, with correspondingly higher costs per watt, although the larger systems are close to the median value of USD 2.9/W (with little diference for the on- and of-grid projects).
