  these german companies are bent on dumping their solar panels on us for easy cash. Instead of promoting solar panels on individual homes, they rather want grid connected solar, where the government pats with huge sums of money. the size of land needed for this 40megawatts solar project is incredible. If for just 2megawatts in Navrongo we needed 3.5hectres of land, u can imagine. Our gov't must wise up.We have a basic power problem for which we must use cheaper sources of energy to fix. let's encourage off-grid solar instead of these expensive, large-scale projects.And once SADA is mentioned, it is only a matter of time before the kickback scandals begin.

  This is a major heist. The projected cost of this installation is way too much. It's almost three times (3X) what it should cost. Please do your due diligence. DO some research into cost of solar energy. THIS IS TOO MUCH!

  The cost is way off the mark. Price of solar panels are down, the realistic price is 80 million US dollars. The landowners should insist on equity, plus technical education for the youth and afforestation and small scale irrigation. Solar and nuclear must be on the agenda of Government. Solar for individuals hones needs to be promoted. Estate developers must incorporate solar and bio mass.

  What is happening? A 40 megawatts solar system shouldn't cost more than $40million. Somebody is just chopping big. O Ghana. Where is Rawlings? Is he now mute because he is getting what he wants. God save Ghana.
