Puma energy rolls out PV-batteries in Ghana

• Solar and storage space systems totalling 422kW/ 224kWh have actually been installed at 14 websites

Puma Energy's Future Energies service has actually launched 11 solar projects at its retail gas stations and a more three at its terminals in Ghana, West Africa.
