A course for installers and designers was held in October 2023. Participants learned how to design PV systems with batteries.

The GfC mission in Bimbilla now has a reliable power supply! A new solar system with a battery has replaced the unreliable grid. Lighting, water and air conditioning all work perfectly now — and best of all, the sun doesn't send a bill!

The repair of Radio Builsa's solar installation in northern Ghana has made it possible to provide important information in the local languages of Buli, Frafra and Kasem, and we can now monitor energy consumption and battery data via the manufacturer's portal.

The local radio station needs a battery - at the moment the excess electricity is fed into the grid without being remunerated. With the battery, the electricity can be used by the local radio itself.

We resized the system, replaced the battery and inverter. Now we take care of the maintenance and upkeep.

Now that the material has been fully taught, the designer courses could be completed. However, travel is currently very difficult because of the political situation in Burkina Faso.

The Kientega family in Bobo Dioulasso has been operating a PV system on their own roof for several years - unfortunately, it does not function properly.

The local team is now to arrange its first PV installer training course itself. We are available to help where necessary... more

The local trainers have advertised this course themselves and run it independently. We are only online at the conclusion... more

We offer courses so that Africans can build and maintain solar systems themselves. The sun does not charge!
