Projects
Zablikani in Tamale, Ghana
Zablikani is a family-run plastic recycling company and injection moulding manufacturer based in Tamale, in the north of Ghana. Around 10 tonnes of plastic waste are recycled there every month.
The Hyrid solar battery system (capacity approx. 57 kWp, 61.44 kWh storage) maximises the company's degree of self-sufficiency, optimises self-consumption, ensures uninterrupted operation of the machines and reduces electricity procurement costs in the long term.

Wahu in Accra, Ghana
E-mobility is also a megatrend in Africa. The sustainable and affordable mobility provided by the Wahu! bikes and the associated app open up several job markets and should offer women in particular access to the up-and-coming gig economy. The supply of solar power makes the story even more rounded. And EWIA is supplying the matching solar system for the Wahu production hall.

Radach Hotel in Tamale, Ghana
The hotel complex has 68 rooms, six conference rooms and two restaurants. The operator has existed since 1990 and was initiated by Markaz al Bishara, a local Christian association registered in 1983 by Reverend Dr. Johnson Asare. Today, Reverend Dr. Johnson Asare is the CEO of the operating company.
In cooperation with a general contractor, EWIA will construct a solar plant with a capacity of approx. 74 kWp on the hotel's own neighboring property.
The system will feed all of the electricity into the hotel's grid and thus cover up to 50% of the hotel's energy consumption.

A1 Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana
With A1 Hospital, one of the leading clinics in Kumasi, EWIA has successfully implemented the first solar project for a hospital. The hospital suffers time and again from erratic power supply and grid fluctuations. These also affect the power supply during procedures in the operating theatre. With the solar system in combination with battery storage, this is now a thing of the past. The building consists of several floors. Due to the exposed location, the earthing and lightning protection concept had to be redesigned, among other things. Due to the wind loads, it was also necessary to reinforce the roof.

Osko Lodge in Kumasi, Ghana
Welcome to Kumasi, the vibrant capital of Ghana’s Ashanti Region! Here in the country’s second-most populated city, located in a rain forest region near Lake Bosomtwe in the south of Ghana, we just completed the installation of a sophisticated solar system at Osko Lodge!
With future generations on his mind, Dr. Ebenezer Osei Kofi, the owner of Osko Lodge, appreciates both saving money in the long run and reducing the hotel’s carbon footprint. This is yet another project EWIA tackled alongside our partners Afreeca.

ARCCU Credit Union in Takoradi, Ghana
With the solar hybrid system from Jubaili Bros, ARCCU succeeds in reducing its carbon footprint in two ways. First, by drawing less electricity from the thermal power station (oil and gas) in Sekondi-Takoradi, and second, in the event of a power outage. If power goes out, the plant communicates with ARCCU's diesel generator, which reduces diesel consumption and thus polluting emissions by up to 70 percent. In connection with the solar power system, the existing diesel generator could be replaced by a new, significantly smaller diesel generator, which in turn results in lower CO2 emissions.
Emmanuel Prah, manager of ARCCU, comments: "This plant is a milestone in our sustainability strategy not only in financial terms, but also in ecological terms, as we have to think about the next generation.”

Regal Hotel in Tamale, Ghana
Our first project in Tamale is successfully up and running. The award-winning hotel is one of the best and most popular hotels in Tamale. The solar installation is our flagship project for the northern region in Ghana. For the hotel, the solar installation is an investment that pays immediate off by reducing its carbon footprint and ensuring an uninterrupted power supply for the hotel.
