As at today, Nigerians spend millions of dollars on importation of solar panels and solar cells. This is because of growing acceptability of solar energy as an alternative and efficient source of energy. Nigeria is still in the throes of inadequate power supply problem, which has been a major bottleneck to industrial development in the country. Small and medium scale enterprises are being crippled, even as power supply for domestic consumption is near-absent.

The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, is therefore set to blaze a trail in the local manufacture of solar panels. Before the end of 2010, the agency promised that there will be locally produced solar panels in commercial quantities in Nigeria.

Olusegun Adewoye, the Director General of NASENI, said in an interview that the infrastructure required for the take-off of the project is in place.

"So far the agency has a building in Karshi, Federal Capital Territory, which we have refurbished for this purpose," Mr. Adewoye revealed.
