Feasibility study of photovoltaic system to residential buildings

The project aims at determining the feasibility for the use of a solar PV as an energy source to residential buildings in Lagos State as a stand-alone system or back-up for grid energy. Experts from FOKABS, together with other experts will generate new knowledge for decision making. Our specific contribution:

Design of the methodological package employed in the collection of electricity load profile data of residential buildings in Nigeria.
Data analysis, modelling and design of residential solar photovoltaic systems.
Economic and environmental (greenhouse gas emission reduction) analysis for the use of solar photovoltaic systems in residential dwellings.
