Solar Light Company Ltd. promotes Green energy with solar electric systems in Ghana and other
West African countries. We ensure the
ready availability of systems with standard but flexible packages to suit a
variety of needs. Solar Light Co seeks
to maximize the local value added to its systems.
Solar Light differentiates itself from other suppliers
of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by focusing on total customer service. This means that the company supplies all
components and expertise needed for the customer to benefit immediately from
the use of solar power, and will support the system throughout its working life.
In addition to packaged solar electric systems, which
include solar water heaters, Solar Light offers general electrical consulting
and distribution of electrical goods. Solar Light has been in continuous service since 1998 and
has hundreds of satisfied customers to its credit.
Africa's Solar Market
The African market for solar energy is distinct from the programs commonly found in North America, Europe and Japan. In most African countries electricity is unstable, or expensive, or both. Users are stuck in the dark or have to deal with even more expensive and inefficient generator sets.
The energy shortfalls have created a sizable
potential market for Solar Light Co. in grid-based areas in addition to the
more traditional market of off-grid households.
Solar Light Co. will establish a leading presence in the market with
high quality, well-priced systems.
Solar Light’s
marketing targets households, shops, offices, governmental agencies, and institutions
in both urban and rural areas. Specific
products have been designed to meet the needs of each of these market groups.
Range of Products and Services
The solar PV systems offered include three main components:
the source (PV panel), the storage unit (battery), and the load (lights or
other appliances). The product offerings
of Solar Light Co. differ in terms of their applications, capacity, additional
options, and price.

System Packaging and Design
All Solar Light Company systems are sold
complete with lights and fixtures where needed, and include installation in the
customer’s home for domestic, and businesses.
The systems are backed by a 20-year warranty on the panel power output
and a 2-year warranty on most other individual components.
The basic domestic package is priced to be
affordable to the average middle-class professional. Over time, the user may install additional
panels and batteries to handle even more home appliances. Solar Light’s system design lends itself
easily to this packaging approach.

provide affordable energy solutions through leading-edge technologies. In line with this objective, significant
resources are dedicated to finding newer and better ways of producing
