Solar Energy Research Centre Sokoto

Global energy demand has increase tremendously overtime; constraintsimpose by the prevailing energy crises resulted in the search for a viablealternative of energy development. Energy sources from fossil fuels andrelated renewable types arc not enough due to shortage, fluctuations and thehike in price.This research intends to highlights the imperatives of Solar Energy as analternative source of energy supply. The research focuses its attention tothe fundamentals of International Energy Agency (I.E.A), which encouragesenergy potential nations in Solar and Nuclear etc to established energyresearch commissions. This led to decree establishment of Solar andNuclear Centres in Nigeria, as a potential energy zone. The essence ofwhich is to see to the development of Solar and Nuclear raw materials as aviable means of power supply, for industrial, domestic and even exportdemand. The Nigerian Solar and Nuclear Energy Commission, which isunder the Presidency, is affiliated and sited in some academic Institutions forthe purpose of achieving such energy objectives.This research is concern with the Solar Energy Programme, in terms ofenvironmental research and Architectural requirements. Currently, the mainSolar Energy Research Centre in Sokoto, as a research agency is inadequatelyfunctional, there is a need for a standard and well equippedEnergy Research Centre in order to achieve the goals and objective of theSolar Energy Research Development in this nation.
