With China and the United States of America being top countries on the capacity of installed solar pv, it’s a clear evidence that the famous prediction that solar energy will take over the world power generating system by 2050 is not a doubt.
In this article, we’ll walk through different challenges facing Nigerians in fully accepting Solar Energy and their solutions based on the idea that “SOLAR IS THE FUTURE”; stick with me.
Before getting started with the challenges facing solar energy in Nigeria, lets define some basic terms in the alternative energy like ” solar energy capacity”
In a layman words, solar energy capacity is the maximum generating capacity of installations that uses solar energy sources to generate electricity which of course is the conversion of sun light into useful energy for our homes and offices.

WHY DO I NEED TO INSTALL SOLAR ENERGY IN NIGERIA?
It’s a known fact that power supply is a major problem we have in this country and there is no hope as to when we can resolve this ethical problem which have left Nigerian citizens with no choice but to move their business and industry to a other countries where there is available and constant power supply.
Based on analysis by World Bank, Nigeria’s economic crisis is directly related to lack of power supply by 30%. Thus, there is no doubt that solar energy in Nigeria is the future of our economic boom.
Still on the question of why we need to install solar energy in Nigeria, considering the environment here. you will agree with me that most of our energy comes from fossil fuel consumption that has strong implications on the environment, from noise pollution to accumulation of carbon emissions adding to the depletion of the ozone layer.
Let’s not forget that the cost of maintaining a fuel generator in a year can’t be anywhere compared to the cost of installing solar, from analysis done, installing solar will save you thrice the amount we spend on fuel generator in three years.
