solar panels

The number of people without access to electricity is 860 million. 595 million are concentrated in Africa. Ghana, despite being one of the sub-Saharan countries with the best numbers, still had 4.6 million people without access to electricity. 76% is the rural population.

Context

s

The degree of development of a country (HDI) is closely related to access to electricity

The United Nations sets the goal for 2030 to “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Electrifying rural areas is not profitable for companies. The solution? Solar energy. Solar radiation in Ghana is sufficient to meet basic energy needs

l

Training

  • Selection of scholarship recipients
  • Development of 3 month training program in renewables

DEVELOPMENT PHASES

1. Planning

The previous study indicates that the dimensions of the system will be considerable:

  • 90 plates.
  • 150 m2 of area.
  • Pending: determine number of batteries.
  • 1 solar water heater of 300L.

2. Obtaining materials

  • Verify viability with expert companies in the installation of solar systems.
  • Find companies or individuals who want to participate in the project either by donating material or capital.
  • Identify and involve companies that provide solar systems in Ghana to facilitate transportation.

3. Installation and maintenance

  • Hire 1 technician +4 local assistants for the process.

  • Aagree on a maintenance plan.
  • Install the system at Base Camp.

4. Training

  • Grant two of the local assistants based on their technical work during installation and maintenance.

  • The chosen students will receive a three-month training in renewable energy in Tenerife.

FEEDING MINDS WITH SOLAR ENERGY ENERGEEK MINDS

By installing a 100% solar system at Base Camp, we are taking the first step towards a fully sustainable NASCO. Once this pilot development is a reality, we will extend the solar energy to all classrooms in order to continue generating a social and economic impact, powered by green energy.
