Name: Project for the Introduction of Clean Energy by Solar Electricity Generation System
Scheme: Grant Aid
Period: June 2012 - August 2014
Component: Solar modules (720kW), power conditioners, operation room, monitor for PV system promotion, and training for operation and maintenance of the solar system.
Background
* In 2008, Japan initiated the Cool Earth Partnership, to assist developing countries to achieve both economic growth and climate stability.
* The Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System is defined important for renewable energy, diversification of energy, and utilisation of limited natural resources in the "Strategic National Energy Plan 2006-2020 (SNEP)".
Objectives
* To promote clean energy utilisation and achieve emissions reductions.
Activities
* Construction of PV system at Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), University of Ghana.
* Solar modules (315kW) have been installed and are in operation. Other solar modules (405kW) are under construction.
Solar panels: generation at the completion of the first phase is 315kWh.
Monitor at the control room: generated power is utilised at the University of Ghana.
