Using Solar Photovoltaic Systems to Significantly Reduce Power Production Problems in Nigeria and Create a Greener Environment

Abstract

As the world develops it looks for a greener way to produce energy. Here we take a look at the present and previous ways in which Nigeria produces energy and we compare with a particular alternative renewable source, solar photovoltaic system. Solar photovoltaic system uses a method of photoelectric effect in order to convert the energy from the sun into electricity by absorbing and utilizing it. We go further in this project by reviewing some calculations to see how solar energy compares to other forms of electricity supply over a period of 20 years. Finally, reasons were given why it is preferable to use solar PV systems as compared to other forms.
