My humble proposal to the Ghana government is that, each Ghanaian, who can afford it, should be granted the option to import up to 1kW of solar-wind equipment (solar panels, charge controllers, inverters, batteries, costing up to US Dollars 3000) free of customs duties and taxes – for use in our homes and to add power to the national grid.
Imagine if every Ghanaian is so allowed to import up to 1 kW of solar energy systems and other RETs (1000W could power 6x20W bulbs plus 1x280W fridge plus 2x100W fans plus 1x400W freezer); with such a scenario, about a million or more Ghanaian could be ‘grid tied’- that is, each is capable of uploading about 1 kW at peak times during the day to the national grid - that would be a cool 1000MW, or about equal to the installed capacity (1020MW) of Akosombo.
