Feasibility analysis of off-grid hybrid energy system for rural electrification in Northern Ghana
Summary. A hybrid energy system combining solar panels, diesel generators, and battery storage offers the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for electrifying off-grid rural areas in northern Ghana. Simulation analysis shows the system produces energy at $0.399 per kilowatt-hour, roughly three times current Ghana rates. However, policy support through fuel cost management and capital subsidies could make this approach economically viable for rural electrification.
