I purchased my systems part by part not as a package and was able to build two systems. 1 220 and 1 to support my 110 appliances all for under 10,000 usd. I shipped it to Ghana piece by piece to avoid high tariffs. I can say that I have 10 ,000 kva and an additional 5,000 kva all for under 12,000 usd including installation fees and shipping. I don’t have an ecg meter because that has been a struggle so we have been living on just solar power and battery backup and if we need we also have an 26,000 KWh generator we can fire up. We are urban off grid by force because getting an ecg meter seems to take political intervention or large envelops if you understand Ghana.
Could you kindly give me the list of all the parts - inverters, controllers, panels etc you imported? Also are there electricians in Ghana who can properly fix this system once all the parts are imported?
I think you need to buy your hybrid inverters from China as well as the battery. I was able to get two 10KW Hybrid inverters for $1500. Most ROHS battery which Ghana uses, are reasonably at about $1200 for 5KW battery which you can then scale by adding another later and then another as needed. I was given a 100,000 cedis panel quote and now I am thinking of getting the monocrystalline solar panels from China
Thank you for sharing. It's great to know. That's why I decided to go fully solar in my home that I am building in Asebu. I am Happy for the solar, I am also using a solar generator also plus a 5/10 kw. It don't have to be so expensive, everyone kept talking about big brand you don't need it. Blessings
Greetings, all. Peace and blessings to you. Thank you, Asher & Gad channel for your construction videos. They are, indeed, informative and thought provoking. After viewing your solar panel "cost vs. benefit" update, I was led to ask about your familiarity with solar/geothermal hybrid systems. As the air conditioning of homes and buildings constitutes the greater portion of electricity usage, the installation of a geothermal cooling loop would significantly reduce the extent of investment in panels, batteries, etc. to sufficiently equip a building. These systems have been in use in the US before solar was available. We plan to install a solar/geothermal system on a new build that my wife and I will be undertaking in the Cape Coast area in August/September. We would welcome your review of the install, once complete. Thank you, again.
I look forward to seeing this in practice. I’ve read about hybrid energy systems for homes using a combination of solar photovoltaics, solar water heating, geothermal heating and cooling, and solar-powered ventilation. Are there experts in Ghana who can install these hybrid systems or it’s a DIY project?
The net metering system is not being 'accepted' by ECG even though Energy Commission is 'pushing' it. My office have the bi-system in place and a software installed to manage the net consumption but ECG is frustrating the whole concept. More technical details I may not be able to share in public
When Ghana trade forces diaspora to shop in China do the realise that there is less money towards the infrastructure in building up the country. Then we complain about the poor roads, schools not equip adequately. Electric constantly going off no water supply in lots of areas please think not only long term but also for the greater good of the country my friends.
I just checked Victron Ouattro 2x10KVA inverter chargers 120/240 parallel configuration, Off-Grid, 51.2KWh server rack batteries, and the price is $33200. It includes Victron MPPT RS450V/200A, Lynx power in, Lynx distributor, Lynx shunt, Cerbo GX, Panels and all the cable and fuses and breakers. So shipping, duties, and installation and margin would be $7000. Victron Energy is a lifetime investment
Hello Asher & Gad. Love your your inforative videos. They are very helpful. Have you ever heard of he Eco flow system it is very reliable. Can you take a look at it and give your thoughts on its use in Ghana?
I was quote $60k for 7kwh panels micro inverters 11wh batteries. I bought 9kwh panels 6 kw gridtie inverter 2 6kwh off grid growatts 26.5 kwh batteries for $14k and I install it.
Great stuff as always Kingsley. I noticed you mainly referred to central air type conditioner, can a 12kw inverter run 3-4 mini splits of say 18 btu each. How would you calculate this. Regards Lennie. I changed my profile name 😂
@@odenehoakowua you need to do your research Ghana doesn’t own a lot of their own resources actually due to non-payments of loans they were given by china and other countries.
chale we need one to be tight and strict and straight and plain for the ghana peoples this is equivalent to finance jargons to scare away the poor people keep it regular
Greetings……I’m still confused as to why Sikorsky has to be sooo much money when GOD gives the Energy for free?!!! It’s ridiculous! These companies and whom ever is in control raise prices ….its by design. Sickening you always have to be worried about paying a bill every month!

May I ask where you purchased your solar and the accessories pls. Thank you.
@@BarbaraF272 mostly Amazon and powMr inverters they actually built a lot of the higher end stuff but also have their own line of solar products
Could you kindly give me the list of all the parts - inverters, controllers, panels etc you imported?
Also are there electricians in Ghana who can properly fix this system once all the parts are imported?
I’m from the diaspora and I do solar I come to Ghana each year
I want to install solar please can you help me by telling me the stuff to buy please
I can't wait to book your services upon building my home!
Your videos are so informative!
I like to ask a question I like to get solar light for my house how much do I need for 2 bedrooms house for everything

do you have any video on solar generators?
Coming soon
Are there specific-types of inverter refrigerators and freezers like there are with air-conditioners?
Good question

Thanks so much for the clarification.
Thanks for this breakdown
Your Welcome
There's someone in Ghana trying to reach out to you about Solar technologies.... we tried calling your contacts but it's not going through...😢
I sent him email couple of months ago and never got responses.
That’s a thank you for the explanation.
Welcome
Please how can I get your contact for more information.
another great video about solar. thanks for the knowledge
Thanks
How much does the 5kw cost.
Thank you bro
Very informative video brother thank you

yeah, but very expensive upfront. Quality Product
Could you pls give me an estimate for a 6KW system?
Contact us and we can recommend a solar company in Ghana for you.

Hello Asher & Gad. Love your your inforative videos. They are very helpful. Have you ever heard of he Eco flow system it is very reliable. Can you take a look at it and give your thoughts on its use in Ghana?
Will advise getting your own system from China and having someone install for u?
That’s also possible
Although I would be concerned over warranties
Definitely do that because in the end it is far cheaper
If interested let me know and so u can contact company and do ur own search and verification. They are very highly recommended brand
Ok thanks a lot .
@@Rosphil76, hi I'm interested, do you mind giving out contacts?
I was quote $60k for 7kwh panels micro inverters 11wh batteries. I bought 9kwh panels 6 kw gridtie inverter 2 6kwh off grid growatts 26.5 kwh batteries for $14k and I install it.
lumens 360 electricals can give you less cost Solar system
Great stuff as always Kingsley. I noticed you mainly referred to central air type conditioner, can a 12kw inverter run 3-4 mini splits of say 18 btu each. How would you calculate this. Regards Lennie. I changed my profile name 😂
Hi,thnx for this video.however,may I know if it is possible to use only solar panels without the batteries in Ghana. Thank you.
Of course you can
If you need any direction, get in contact
+233(0)506251602
In that case you will need to get a solar inverter. But no sun no electricity. Battery stores the electricity for use when there is no sun
Where are you located? 1+1=11
Hello
Hello there
I’ve purchased 20kw from a very reputable manufacturer in china with IGBT solar inverter for $16000 with good warranty.
Which company in China?
Hi, can you tell which company in China please?
You can also look at MARS solar ask of Lucy or Rosenpv solar James. I had quotes from those 3 before making my choice.
Can you pls give out their email , thanks!
@@nanakofi1710 I used Alibaba from UK so all my communication were via alibaba
Also the reason for the price hikes are China now owns Ghana’s electricity profits due to a predatory loan that Ghana couldn’t pay back.
Oh I see
I didn’t know that
Thanks for the information
It is not true.
@@odenehoakowua yes it is , read and research sir
@@odenehoakowua you need to do your research Ghana doesn’t own a lot of their own resources actually due to non-payments of loans they were given by china and other countries.
I would just go to China and buy it there.
That is the thing I hate about some Ghanaians who are into trade. They just charge too high prices and you wonder what shit is wrong with them 😂😂
Why are these things so expensive in Ghana??? They should be half the cost! Order from China!
chale we need one to be tight and strict and straight and plain for the ghana peoples
this is equivalent to finance jargons to scare away the poor people
keep it regular
My company can produce this way less
Please, what is the name of your company?
Please what is the name of your company and your number
This man is not serious, he Never responds his emails nor his contact is not going through. Are you really serious??
He replied to me promptly and gave me excellent advice, so double check the email and numbers you are using.
He replied me promptly and addressed my issues. Maybe you should try again.
You seem to be running short of breath in the middle of your presentations, is everything OK with you...or get checked.
I like the program and the solar power but you talk too much bro
Ghana does not have electricity lol

Agree
It should not be that way and probably not the original setup. But a certain type of men have intervened for profit and control
