“…In 2016, [31] proposed some opportunities that will help to achieve the goal of renewable energy implementation in Ethiopia while [32] provided an answer to the concerns of some electricity end-users who are worried about the cost of state support and the increase of electricity cost in Thailand. In ECOWAS countries, renewable energy potential concerning renewable energy policy was also investigated [33]. It emerged from these studies that higher investment in the near term is generating longterm benefits, which leads to modern and sustainable energy power for all.…”

This article investigates the return on financial investment of one of the most famous renewable energy sources available in the majority of countries over the world when considering building a micro-grid station of 1MW namely the photovoltaic (PV) system. By bringing together information on the need to invest in a very promising field which is solar, the reasons that can motivate investment or not in the PV sector based on the global energy potential has been analyzed, climate agreements, technological development of the field and practical cases studied. The problem is at present that, there still are some reluctant investors who do not believe in investing in the renewable energy sectors. Society is divided on the environmental impact that most used energies presently have on human life. Whether it is coal, uranium or gas, many companies invest huge amounts of money in these forms of energy to increase their economical level while investment in the renewable energies stagnates. The results obtained from the proposed micro-grid deployed show that an

Nigeria is a country in West African region of the world blessed with enormous potential of renewable energy resources such as wind, hydro, solar, animal waste and municipal waste. Despite the availability of these energy resources in large quantity, the country is still ranked among the countries in the world with very poor access to electricity. This paper tends to suggest an approach towards solving the problem of irregular supply of electricity in Hussaini Federal Polytechnic located in Jigawa, a state in northwestern part of Nigeria. This approach involves sectionalizing the polytechnic into two sections and integrating photovoltaic energy system to an already existing utility distribution network in each of the sections. These interconnected energy sources are to be used in charging the storage systems located within each of the sections. Electricity will be supplied to the load in a particular section from the storage system located within the section, through existing distribution network in the polytechnic. The sizing of the storage system, the inverter, the charge controller and the photovoltaic array were done by normal renewable energy system calculation. From the results obtained, each of the sections will require a set of 250kW 480V hybrid inverter, twenty thousand pieces of 250W/24V photovoltaic panels and 2,798.5kWh battery capacity.

“…The Federal government of Nigeria through its relevant agencies have set up policies to promote and harness/develop the renewable energy potential of the country. According to [16], there are three main renewable energy generation policies in Nigeria and they are as follows; Nigeria Feed-on Tariff for Renewable Energy and Sourced Electricity (RNSE), Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) and Nigeria Renewable Energy Master Plan (NREMP). The installed capacity target which was set up by NREMP, is proposing an increase in small hydro power by 1400MW in 2025, increase in Solar PV systems to 500MW, wind energy to 40 MW and biomass powered plants by 385MW.…”

“…Nevertheless, due to government bureaucracies, such policies are not actualized and never see the light of day and they mostly end up at the back pages of newspaper publications, ministry/parastatals newsletters or form part of a keynote /welcome address for government functionaries in conferences and seminars [14,16]. On the contrary, Government support in form of subsidies are usually given to investors of conventional energy to boost energy supply in the country however, this creates an unfavorable and competitive environment for solar energy to grow in Nigeria [16] In a study carried out by [17], the paper highlighted that, lack of awareness and politics, as the two major challenges affecting the growth and development of solar energy in Nigeria. These factors have negatively contributed to the poor implementation and monitoring of renewable energy policies and targets.…”

This study evaluated the performance of selected solar photovoltaic (PV) projects installed by Federal and State government intervention agencies in Delta State, Nigeria. Thirty projects were studied, these projects were selected from Delta North, Central and South Senatorial Districts. The data for this study was obtained by using a structured questionnaire and field inspection. The data was statistically analysed using Kruskal-Wallis test at 5% and two-sample Ttest. The results of the field inspection revealed that the performance of the installed solar PV projects is significantly different (P> 0.05) between the two government agencies. There are number of factors that affects solar PV system performance in Delta State, Nigeria, these include; high cost, poor awareness, theft/ insecurity, poor maintenance and lack of technical manpower. Practical steps and measures that can promote better performance (installation, operation and maintenance) of solar PV system as a clean and sustainable source of energy in Delta State are also discussed.
