dc.description.abstractSolar energy has always been one of the abundant renewable energies in Nigeria, and today there is a gap between its availability and utilization. This is underlined by the fact that the average sunshine hour per day is 6hrs and the reserve estimate is 3.5- 7.0KWh/m2-day. At present in Nigeria, electricity installed capacity sourced from coal, oil, water, gas and fossil nuclear materials is about 3500MW compared with projected electricity demand of 15,730MW by 2015. The continued usage of coal, oil, water, gas and fossil nuclear is faced with a lot of challenges ranging from the release of greenhouse gases, un-replenished and restricted installation among others. This paper examines solar energy utilization in Nigeria, vis-à-vis rural energy consumption and makes recommendations on how to fully harness solar energy to augment electricity generation into the national grid for increased power supply to rural communities.en_US
