Solar rooftop installation for HPW fresh & dry Ltd., Ghana
HPW fresh & dry Ltd. is a Ghanaian company, established in 2010; its parent company HPW AG is based in Switzerland. HPW fresh & dry produces dry fruit out of mango, pineapple and coconut. The factory is located in Adeiso, near the capital Accra, and mainly supplies customers in the European market. Currently, around 800 permanent employees work at HPW fresh & dry. Annually the company processes 20,000 t of raw material from about 600 suppliers across the country. HPW fresh & dry now produces a total of some 660,000 kWh of green electricity per year from solar energy, covering approx. 25% of the factory’s power demand and reducing its dependence on grid electricity and diesel generation. Solar power enables the company not only to reduce its monthly electricity bill by some 20%, but also to save over 30,000 litres of diesel per year. This improves the company’s carbon footprint by avoiding over 360 tonnes of CO2 per year, through substitution of both grid and diesel power.
