Improving Rural Energy Access through Solar Home Systems in Ghana
In Ghana, where electricity grid access is relatively high for Sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people in small rural communities or on isolated islands cannot be reached through grid extension. A successful GPOBA project supported the purchase of solar home systems and PV lanterns for 16,500 households in remote, off-grid areas.
