“We started the distribution last year, and even this month we did a draw which saw about one hundred individuals got free solar panels and inventors.”
Addressing concerns about the need for individuals to purchase inventors and batteries before they are eligible for a free solar panel, Mr. Otu Dankwah said some financial institutions are ready to provide soft loans for interested persons.
“ We realize that the batteries and inventors may be expensive for some people, so some banks have been contacted and they are interested in providing finance to interest persons.”
