Candidate graduates of our Solar Advanced Professional course, students visited the Bui hydroelectric and solar plant from July 7th to 8th, 2024, about 476 km from Accra. This plant on the Black Volta River, Ghana's second-largest hydroelectric facility completed in 2013, boosts 5MW solar power into the national grid.
The tour included insights into dam construction, power generation, and integration into the grid, highlighting Ghana's renewable energy potential.

Solar energy is one of the most economical energy sources.

Installing solar panels in educational institutions has become an increasingly popular option because of its many benefits. Not only do solar panels help reduce electricity bills and carbon emissions, but they add value to school facilities and provide an exciting educational opportunity for students to explore renewable energy sources.

Sure, this is an expensive way to become a green school, but it pays off!

Scaling up Solar PV installations in Ghana through net-metering requires new skills. A delegation from the Ministry of Energy, the Energy Commission of Ghana and the Embassy of Switzerland officially launched the training series for staff of the Distribution Utilities today at the Don Bosco Solar Africa Training Centre. The training will build the capacity of at least 180 technical staff in the installation and commissioning of grid-tied solar PV systems. The trainings are funded by Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, SECO, as part of the Ghana Solar Photovoltaic based Net-metering Project. More information on how SME and households in Ghana can benefit from the program will follow soon – stay in touch!
