About Sol
Sol Cement is a value-tier brand distributed from Suhum, sold mainly as a CEM II/B-L 32.5R — a Portland-limestone cement suited to general building rather than the heaviest structural work. It is among the cheapest on the market, with quotes around ₵70 for the standard bag and nearer ₵95 for the 42.5R, and it is often described as imported rather than ground locally. Two things are worth a builder's attention. First, match the grade to the job: a 32.5R is right for blockwork, plaster and non-structural concrete, but for load-bearing columns and slabs you want a 42.5R, Sol's or anyone's. Second, Sol's operator had a well-publicised regulatory episode a few years back and has since resumed — not a reason to avoid a compliant bag, but a reminder to buy from a dealer who can vouch for freshness and standard. As always, confirm the price at the yard; it tracks the cedi.
Is Sol worth it? The numbers
Sol cement for a three-bedroom shell (≈500 bags)
≈ ₵39,000
Cement only, at ~500 bags for a like-for-like comparison — not the full materials bill. A green figure is what you save on the cement line versus that brand.
Best for
Blockwork, plaster and non-structural concrete — its main CEM II 32.5R grade suits general building, and it is among the cheapest bags going.
Watch for
Not for heavy structure unless you step up to its 42.5R. Imported, so supply can be lumpier; buy from a dealer who can vouch for freshness and the standard mark.

Common questions
How much is Sol cement in Ghana today?
A 50kg bag of Sol Cement (50kg CEM II) is about ₵78 in Greater Accra, below the cheapest established major. Cement moves monthly with the cedi — confirm at the yard.Is Sol good cement?
Sol is an imported CEM II cement distributed from Suhum, at the value end of the range. For a given grade the compressive strength is standardised, so Sol's 42.5R is structurally equivalent to any other brand's 42.5R; brands differ mainly on bagging consistency and setting behaviour.Why does the Sol price change?
Because cement tracks the cedi. Sol is imported as a CEM II cement and distributed from Suhum, and clinker and gypsum — cement's main inputs — are dollar-priced imports, so a weaker cedi lifts the bag price within weeks. Manufacturers' own price notices routinely cite the exchange rate as the reason.How many bags of Sol for a 3-bedroom house?
A standard 150-square-metre three-bedroom shell takes on the order of 450 to 550 bags of any brand, Sol included. At ₵78 a bag that is a substantial line item, which is why the brand choice matters. The build calculator on the main build page estimates it for your size.What grade is Sol cement?
Sol Cement is 50kg CEM II. The grade — not the brand — determines structural strength, so match it to the job: 42.5R for load-bearing structure, a lower grade for blockwork and plaster.
