“…It is important to know that the demand for electricity is on the increase in every sector [22][23][24][25][26][27] including residential buildings which dominate energy consumption in Nigeria, thus putting stress on the national grid [4,28]. If a portable clean energy can be generated from renewable energy sources to power most of the loads in the residential buildings, this will go a long way to relieve the national grid and also reduce the cost of electricity per day [29]. Hence, in this study, cost implication of generating electricity from solar powered system to argument the conventional power generation shall be considered and analysed in order to come up with a logical solution.…”

Energy is a key component in the overall growth of every nation. Insufficient energy delivery hinders political growth, restricts social growth, limits economic growth, and negatively affects the standard of living of citizens, both in urban and rural areas. Sufficient energy delivery increases food production, improves the standards of living of citizens, improves healthcare and enhancements in other human services, enhances industrial output, provides effective and efficient transportation not forgetting adequate shelter to the citizens of the nation. Currently, there is a significant level of deficiency in Nigeria's energy sector. This study seeks to address this issue by analysing cost implications of conventional energy source and solar energy source. This study brings to focus the payback period of a solar powered home and the return on investment that might accrue during this time to the residential homeowners. Furthermore, the best cost-effective load sharing option for residential owners considering two energy sources is also obtained.
