Over 70 Solar Installers in Accra Trained to Advance Ghana's Renewable Energy Integration

Over 70 solar panel installers in Accra have recently completed specialized training designed to elevate their expertise in the burgeoning solar energy sector. Organized by PP Engineering and Trading, this training program aligns with Ghana’s strategic focus on expanding renewable energy and reducing dependence on traditional power sources.

The program highlighted the latest advancements in solar inverter technology from GoodWe, a leading Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). These inverters are engineered to enhance efficiency and reliability, which are critical as Ghana experiences increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions. Participants were equipped with essential skills such as product resistance, troubleshooting, and how to access warranty information through GoodWe's website, ensuring they can provide high-quality service and support to customers.

Prince Adomako, CEO of PP Engineering and Trading, underscored the company's dedication to partnering with top-tier brands like GoodWe to deliver cutting-edge solar energy solutions. He emphasized the training's role in preparing installers to meet the growing market demand, stating, “We are committed to enlightening installers about our new products and the value they bring to the renewable market. GoodWe is poised to revolutionize the African solar industry.”

GoodWe’s Country Manager, Wycliff Mwange, echoed this sentiment, pointing to Ghana's supportive policies as a key driver of the renewable energy sector's growth. While acknowledging ongoing challenges such as net export control, Mwange expressed optimism about the country’s trajectory in embracing solar technologies.

The importance of solar energy adoption was further highlighted by Awal Sakib Mohammed, President of the Ghana Electrical Contractors Association (GECA). He noted that solar systems could significantly reduce reliance on the national grid, leading to substantial cost savings for consumers and businesses alike.

However, concerns were raised about the challenges facing the solar industry in Ghana. Installer Mawuli Aflakpui pointed out the low uptake of solar energy, which he attributed to the prevalence of substandard products and difficulties in accessing quality components. He urged Ghanaians to recognize the long-term benefits of solar energy and encouraged regulatory bodies to enforce stricter controls to ensure that only high-quality products enter the market.

The training concluded with participants expressing confidence in the GoodWe brand, praising its durability and reliability. They emphasized the necessity of continued training and regulation to maintain industry standards and foster the growth of solar energy in Ghana.
