Nigeria, strategically located within the sun-drenched tropics between latitudes 4°N and 14°N and longitudes 3°E and 15°E, is optimally positioned to harness its abundant solar energy potential. This potential is evidenced by an impressive average solar radiation of about 5.5 kWh/m²/day, culminating in approximately 1,885 kWh/m²/year, which significantly amplifies the country's capacity for solar energy generation. The peak solar hours vary from 4 to 6 hours daily depending on the season and location, highlighting the practical period for optimal photovoltaic energy production. Clarification on Solar Hours: It is crucial to differentiate between total daylight hours and peak solar hours, with the latter being critical for effective photovoltaic energy production, typically ranging from 4 to 6 hours across Nigeria. This period is essential for planning and implementing energy projects as it directly influences the efficiency of solar panel electricity generation. Streamlining Solar
