That feeling when people believe in your product.
"It dey fire!". We went on the streets of Accra to talk to people riding electric and get their opinions. Meet Joseph, from Westlands, who uses Kofa Swap&Go for his Kofa powered electric motorcycle. Press play to let him take it from here... #weareKofa #Swap&Go #nolimits

Energy access in Africa is often unreliable and/or inaccessible, and we think we can do better. The path to getting there isn't necessarily expensive grid infrastructure. It's based on having power in the form of on-demand, portable batteries; the same ones powering your EV's!
We are revolutionizing backup power in Sub-Saharan Africa with a new approach. This will not only provide reliable backup power to communities in need, but also ensure a hassle-free and user-friendly experience for customers. lnkd.in/eW2RMRXp #sustainablenergy #SwapAndGo

So – looks like there was a modicum of interest in my experience with a residential solar power setup, so I've written up my experiences below & hopefully someone gets some use out of it. Diving in:
Replying to @kofiagyare_
If anyone’s thinking about solar, I’m happy to share about: - Estimating your power needs - Picking the right vendor - Best places to put the batteries & inverter - Supervising installation - Maintenance & daily usage Just respond to this thread so I know if there’s interest.

Nkrumah reacts upon recieving information that he had been overthrown. His plane was still in the sky over China When he was overthrown in a CIA backed coup. He therefore, knew nothing about it.
