Solar is the considered purchase that pays you back — a system sized to your real bill cuts what you hand ECG every month and, battery-backed, keeps you running through dumsor. Solar AC Ghana designs and installs solar for homes and businesses across Accra, by EC-certified technicians, since 1989.

Solar for Homes & Businesses
We design the system around how you actually use power, not a one-size template.
Home Solar
Cut the household bill, keep the essentials — lights, fridge, fans, Wi-Fi, and AC — running through dumsor. A hybrid (battery-backed) system is the popular Accra choice because it does both.
Business Solar
Offices, shops, clinics, and small factories where downtime costs money. We log your daily load profile and size generation and backup so production and cooling do not stop when the grid does.
Grid-Tie, Hybrid or Off-Grid
The design decides what solar does for you — we recommend the right one on the survey.
Grid-Tie
Lowest cost per kW. Solar offsets your daytime consumption and cuts the bill, but switches off when the grid does. Best where supply is stable and the goal is purely the bill.
Hybrid (Battery-Backed)
The most popular Accra choice — cuts the bill AND rides out dumsor on the battery. Costs more than grid-tie because of the battery bank, but it is the one most homes and businesses actually want.
Off-Grid
Full independence for sites with no reliable supply. Larger array and battery, sized to carry the whole load without the grid as a backstop.
How We Size It
We size to your bill and load, not a guess:
- We read your last few ECG bills to see real monthly consumption
- We list the loads you run — fridges, AC, pumps, office gear — and how long
- For a business we log the daily load profile so the array and battery fit your usage
- We then spec the panels + inverter + battery to carry it with headroom, not undersize it
What It Costs — Honestly
Solar pricing depends on your roof, your loads, whether you need battery backup, and the panel and battery brand — so the figures below are indicative 2026 ranges (Optima), confirmed firm on a free survey, never blind down the phone.
| System size | Indicative 2026 ₵ range | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| ”1.5kVA" | "₵18,000–25,000" | "Lights, fridge, fans, Wi-Fi — small home essentials" |
| "3kVA" | "₵35,000–50,000" | "Mid-size home, some AC, home office" |
| "5kVA" | "₵55,000–85,000" | "Larger home or small business, AC load” |
Ranges are indicative (Optima 2026) and confirmed on survey. Battery brand, roof complexity, and how much backup you want move the final figure.
Payback & Net-Metering
A system sized to a real bill commonly cites a 4.5–6 year payback in Ghana (claimed-indicative), after which the power is effectively free for the panel life. Where net-metering applies, surplus daytime generation can offset your bill further — we explain what your tariff band and self-consumption mean for your own payback, from your bills, not a brochure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does solar cost in Ghana in 2026? Indicatively: 1.5kVA ~₵18,000–25,000, 3kVA ~₵35,000–50,000, 5kVA ~₵55,000–85,000 (Optima 2026, indicative). The firm price depends on your roof, loads, battery, and brand — confirmed on a free survey, never blind down the phone.
How long until solar pays for itself? Commonly cited around 4.5–6 years in Ghana (claimed-indicative) for a system sized to a real bill, then the power is effectively free for the panel life. We estimate yours from your own ECG bills.
Grid-tie, hybrid or off-grid? Grid-tie cuts the bill but goes off with the grid. Hybrid cuts the bill and rides out dumsor — the popular Accra choice. Off-grid suits sites with no reliable supply. We recommend the right one on the survey.
Can solar power my AC? Yes, sized correctly — AC is a heavy load, so we size the array and inverter to carry it, or design a solar-plus-AC package. We tell you honestly what it takes rather than undersize it.
