Practical Applications Across Industries

Our field research shows three primary use cases dominating Kumasi''s market:

1. Solar Hybrid Systems for Factories

A textile manufacturer reduced diesel consumption by 70% after installing 500kWh lithium-ion storage paired with solar panels. The system pays for itself in 2.3 years through:

• Peak shaving during tariff spikes
• Uninterrupted production cycles
• Carbon credit eligibility

2. Microgrid Solutions for Remote Areas

Off-grid communities now access 24/7 power through modular battery systems. A recent installation in Adansi North District features:

• Scalable 50-200kW capacity
• Smart load management
• Remote monitoring via mobile app
