“…With the increase in the population getting urbanised the energy requirements of the energy demand per capita in Nigeria is getting on a higher level. Which in return is increasing excessive pressure on the energy sources which exist in the country [17][18] [23]. Nigeria's present electricity demand is highly insufficient with the increase in population and fast urbanisation the demand will be difficult to attain due to the increase and the pressure on the existing and power source will be higher and higher.…”

Africa is full of natural resources but is lacking to fulfil the energy needs of continent due to lack of technology. Nigeria as it seems is situated in the of Africa. with over 210 million population and 768 km2 area Nigeria is still struggling to fulfil the electricity requirement of the country, as the data shows 46% of the overall country population is still not connected to grid and most of the electricity generation is being done by non-renewable energy resources which is responsible for pollution in the country. being as a developing nation Nigeria has to find out new possibilities to fulfil the electricity requirement and what is a better way than utilising the resource the entire Africa is known for i.e., sun. solar radiation level of Africa is far more than of the other continents. the research paper consists of the study of six zones of Nigeria and its potential to generate green energy in the country.

“…Air heating through solar energy is an example of solar thermal technology in which the sun’s energy is gathered and used to heat air. 2 Solar collectors are of two types that is flat plate collectors and the concentrating (focusing) collectors. Flat plate collector pursues low efficiency in comparison to concentrating collector.…”

This is a new era where the world’s energy consumption is so high and is likely to increase over 60% of current consumption by the year 2030. Therefore, renewable energy should be used most frequently. The most preferred alternative to fossil fuels is solar energy but converting solar energy into usable form is the most challenging part. The conversion to thermal energy is the one option. In the area of solar thermal power generation, a solar parabolic trough (SPT) collector is an effective method. Also, the use of passive methods to enhance the thermal performance of these parabolic trough receivers is currently the researcher’s interest This review study is focused on different types of geometrical modification (Artificial roughness) used to enhance the thermal performance of SPT receivers. Based on the extensive study it has been found that conical strip insert is a very broad field for research as it can enhance the thermal performance up to 5–10 times. Also there are parameters associated with the conical strips like shape, pitch, angle of twist, slant angle, geometry angle, etc. which can contribute to better performance when used in SPT receiver.
