Wilkins Engineering is Focusing on Solar PV Projects in Ghana and West Africa

“I wouldn’t say that Wilkins has changed its main focus, but we have focused a lot more on PV projects. Because of the introduction of the net metering code, we are able to provide grid-connected systems for commercial users.”

“We have hotels and other businesses that want to run their day time load directly from PV. Because this is a capital intensive project, especially in Ghana because most of the components are shipped in, you find that the initial set up cost is a bit heavy for most commercial players but we have been able to secure funds in order to be able to lease out the equipment,” says Kofi Frimpong, Sales and Marketing Manager of Wilkins Engineering.
