        abstract = {Energy is an essential factor in all sectors of any nation’s economy. This paper investigates the need for the maximization of renewable energy and its potential for sustainable development, emphasizing the key role solar power can play in addressing Nigeria's energy shortfalls. Solar energy, which is obtained from the sun, is the world’s most abundant and cheapest source of energy available from nature. The discourse incorporates socio-economic considerations, technological barriers, and the need for effective and friendly governmental policies to instigate solar power initiatives. Key propositions include developing Nigerian-made photovoltaic (PV) panels, patenting innovations, human capacity building, and fostering PV technology clusters. The discourse concludes by highlighting the transformative potential of solar power, envisaging a sustainable future for Nigeria through renewable energy.},
