Meinergy Solar Rooftop Systems

Solar technology, a low-carbon energy solution, makes sense for much of Africa and specifically Ghana. With large areas of the continent, endowed with bountiful solar radiation, many countries—including Ghana—have the ideal conditions for utilizing solar energy. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems mounted on rooftops are helping change how we produce energy and making our world a better place to live.

Meinergy has installed a model large rooftop solar system at the carport of its Accra Head-office to showcase the technology to its Customers and Potential Investment Partners. This will supply the Meinergy Head Office in Accra, supplementing the existing supply from the Ghana Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

Advantages of Rooftop Solar Systems

• Construction
  Site Access: Photovoltaic (PV) systems can be operated unattended and require minimum periodic maintenance.

Modularity: They can be designed for easy expansion if power demand may increase.

• Operation and Maintenance

Fuel Supply: Solar energy is delivered free. Transmitting and distributing conventional energy can be much more expensive than the fuel itself.
Maintenance: PV systems require less maintenance than alternatives.

Peak Generation: These systems offset the need for electricity during expensive peak demand hours.

Durability: Most of today’s systems are based on a proven technology that has withstood 25 years of operation.

• Impact
  Cost: Fuel savings from PV systems typically offset their relatively high initial cost.

Environment: PV systems create no pollution and have no waste products when operating.
