Transforming Lives Through Clean Energy Initiatives
Breaking the Cycle of Energy Poverty in Rural Ghana: The Sunrise Spectrum Initiative
Tangelic's flagship initiative, Sunrise Spectrum, is illuminating the path to a brighter and healthier future for underserved communities in rural Ghana. We're committed to providing access to clean energy through solar power and clean cookstoves, empowering individuals and communities to break free from energy poverty and build a more sustainable future.
Transforming Lives with Clean Energy Solutions
We work hand-in-hand with local communities to design and implement tailored solar energy and clean cooking solutions that address their unique needs and aspirations. Our holistic approach not only provides clean electricity and reduces indoor air pollution but also fosters economic development, improves health outcomes, and empowers individuals to build a brighter future
Our approach: Community-led, sustainable solutions
- Solar home systems: We provide high-quality solar home systems that bring light to homes, power essential appliances, and charge mobile phones, replacing harmful kerosene lamps and diesel generators with a clean and reliable source of electricity. This significantly improves living standards, reduces energy costs, and creates a healthier living environment
- Clean cookstoves: Our efficient, smoke-free cookstoves dramatically reduce indoor air pollution, a major health hazard in many rural communities. This leads to improved respiratory health, particularly for women and children, while also freeing up time and resources previously spent on fuel collection
- Community solar microgrids: We establish solar-powered microgrids to energize vital community infrastructure such as schools, health clinics, and community centers. These microgrids not only enable essential services but also create vibrant hubs for education, healthcare, and economic activity, empowering communities to take ownership of their energy future and drive sustainable development.
- Economic empowerment: We foster economic growth and sustainable livelihoods by training local community members in solar energy installation, maintenance, and repair. This equips individuals with valuable skills, creates jobs, and stimulates the growth of a local clean energy sector.
Impact: Creating Lasting Change
Sunrise Spectrum is more than just an electrification project; it’s a catalyst for profound social and economic transformation. By providing clean energy access, we’re not just lighting up homes; we’re empowering individuals, strengthening communities, and building a brighter, healthier, and more prosperous future for generations to come.
- Improving health: Reducing indoor air pollution and providing reliable power for healthcare facilities leads to improved health outcomes and a better quality of life for community members.
- Enhancing education: Solar-powered lights enable children to study after dark, improving educational opportunities and empowering them to reach their full potential.
- Driving economic growth: Access to clean energy fuels economic development by enabling businesses to operate more efficiently, creating jobs, and increasing productivity.
- Empowering women: Our clean cooking solutions and economic empowerment programs specifically target women, providing them with greater autonomy and opportunities to thrive.
- Protecting the environment: By replacing fossil fuels with clean energy, we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.
