Midway across southern Ghana, near the historic port fishing town of Winneba, lies East and West Africa’s largest solar PV plant.

PV Tech visited the new project, built by China-based power firm BXC Ghana, just ahead of the Solar and Off-grid Renewables West Africa 2016 conference in Accra, Ghana.
