“…As Isaac (2017) rightly observed, the developmental effect of science and technology "cuts across every other sector that drives the national generally regarded as "the hub of both economic and technological development" because "every other sector of the economy depends on adequate supply of electricity" (Awosope, 2014). In a similar vein, Emovon et al (2018) assert a significant correlation between adequate power generation and distribution and "the rate of economic growth and industrialisation of any nation. It is, however, pathetic to note that power generation and distribution have been epileptic in most states of Latin America.…”

“…Nigeria is a nation that is endowed with both natural and human resources. The country boasts of over 200 million people with about 2.5 percent annual growth increase suffers from epileptic power supply [7]. However, the country is blessed with abundant of solar radiation every day, which could have been tapped to tackle the problem of electricity supply [8].…”

Aims: Residential sector is the largest electricity consumer in Nigeria. But they also contribute heavily to the climate change through their choice of energy. Mostly prefer source is the fossil fuel for electricity generation despite the growing awareness of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by embracing renewable energy technologies across the globe. Hence, this study investigated the factors influencing solar PV utilization in Akure. Study Design: The study employed a survey research design. Place and Duration of Study: Three residential estates in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria formed the study areas. The study was conducted between June 2019 and July 2019. Methodology: The study surveyed 292 households located in the three residential estates in Akure, Ondo State and 219 retrieved questionnaire were found usable for the analysis. Data was analysed using the mean ranking of the influencing factors. Aquila et al.; JENRR, 4(3): 14-28, 2020; Article no.JENRR.55837 15 Results: The results revealed that the highest ranking factor influencing utilization of Solar PV for energy services is that Solar PV is a good backup against power failure. This is as a result of the erratic power supply in Nigeria which has not only failed to meet the need of household but also hampered economic growth. However, the least ranking factor influencing solar PV utilization for energy services is Ability to sell electricity to the national grid. Conclusion: Cooperation between private enterprises and relevant government agencies supported by 'political will' is required to promote the aforementioned factors influencing the solar PV utilization for energy services in Nigeria. Utilization of solar PV as an energy source for energy service ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The research recommended that government support for solar PV intervention should be further encouraged. Original Research Article

“…In fact, the recent vandalism of gas pipelines that supply gas to power plants has caused power generation to drop to 1,580.6 megawatts in March, 2016 [16]. This has brought untold hardship on the citizens and derailed economics activities [7].…”

This is an off grid photovoltaic system designed for a three bedroom flat located in Makurdi Benue state, Nigeria. It is aimed at clearing doubts and fear engulfed by residential owners about photovoltaic systems in the country. The off grid photovoltaic system was design based on the electrical energy requirement of the flat. To achieve this, the power rating of common appliances which could be found in the flat were identified and multiplied by their time of operation to understand the energy demand of the house. The energy requirement of the flat was found to be 15.563kwh per day. The photovoltaic system was designed using Polysun application software. The result obtained from simulation shows that, the system will generate enough energy for operation of these appliances including in the night. The cost of the system was found to be ₦2862249 with a lifetime of at least 20 years. The cost was compared with the use of fuel generator within the same period. The payback period was found to be approximately 2.72years. This means that the cost of photovoltaic system for the flat is high but after 2.7 years, the installer of the PV system will be using energy virtually free for the remainder of the lifetime of the system.
