Solar photovoltaic generation is a proven renewable energy technology and has the potential to become cost-effective in the future, for it produces electricity from the solar radiation. In Ghana, the electricity demand is rapidly increasing at a rate of 10% annually.
To realize the energy vision of Ghana, solar energy had been identified among the key energy sources for long-term development and sustainability of electricity supply to increase access, particularly for rural poverty reduction. And this objective is addressed by the Strategic National Energy Plan (SNEP).
In Ghana, donor cooperation in solar PV projects started in the 1990s and has been increasing thereafter. Since 2009, a total of 9536 solar systems have been installed in remote off-grid communities in over 70 districts nationwide with support from JICA, the World Bank and the Spanish Government.
Ghana׳s location in this region makes it natural that the application of solar energy should be given priority. The dependency on hydro energy and fossil based fuels for electricity generation has been far too long and the time has come to make use of the solar resource potential of the country .
The development of national policies relating to solar electricity in Ghana can be traced to 1983 when the National Energy Board (NEB) was established, though public solar PV electrification projects were first implemented in the early 1990s.
The monthly average solar irradiation in different parts of the country ranges between 4.4 and 5.6 kW h/m 2 /day. Fig. 1 shows the solar resource potential for Ghana . Fig. 1. Solar resource potential of Ghana . 7. Challenges of solar PV technology dissemination
