    It is a great business idea. Maybe you could temporarily utilise the adjacent plots as a food stop but also a farmers market where the customers can pass time while waiting for their cars to be washed which would only require the construction of a few stalls.

    You can also consider a mini-mechanic stop shop as well.

    If you get solar, it may not be enough to power your business unless you get mostly gas-powered equipment, especially during the rainy season.
    You will likely need a standby generator, trust me. The ECG may sound like a bad idea, but i believe splitting the cost between solar and ECG is the best way. Pay the ghc 90k to get the ECG now and then invest the difference in a small solar system. With time, you will wean yourself off the solar as your revenue grows by scaling up on the solar set-up.
    Plus, I'm not sure which region you are located in, but the rural areas, especially those close to the Akuapem ranges, generally get more rainy/cloudy days than Accra.

    • @IshmealLamptey
      @IshmealLamptey  22 дня назад +2

      Thank you very much for your input. The problem is not really about getting the ECG but rather the prepaid meters attached to it for a commercial purpose. It's likely going to make the operational cost too high. The right size of solar system should be able to power the devices during rainy days as well, that's why it is very important to take into consideration what equipment to use. Nevertheless, having a backup power option such as fuel powered devices or a backup generator is definitely going to be taken into consideration for contingency as part of our risk management. Where we are isn't within the Akuapem mountain range hence we do not experience a lot of rainfall as compared to such places. Also, if the ECG initial cost becomes cheaper which i believe eventually it will, we'll definitely have it as part of our power options. Thank you very much again for your input. It really helps especially with the planning.

      It is always advisable to have buffers on each side of the road to take care of that.

    Why did you build under the electrical high tension wires? It looks pretty dangerous.

    • @IshmealLamptey
      @IshmealLamptey  22 дня назад

      If you look closely, you'll notice it is a small part of the fence which is under the high tension. The position of the high tension is wrong and as part of what we intend to do, is to write to the company to reposition them hopefully some time soon.
