Solar thermal Experiences - Northern Nigeria Solar Energy Research Centre Usman Dan Fodio University (Nigeria/Sokoto) In Nigeria about 80% of domestic energy needs are met through burning fuelwood. Solar thermal energy used are community based; such as community based solar water heating, Renewable Energy Integrated Rural model The solar collectors are only produced by the research institutions. At the moment there is no registered company manufacturing and installing solar thermal systems. Solar thermal systems are mainly imported from Us, Germany, China, India, Japan, Pakistan etc. 1,000ltrs Community Solar Water Heater
Solar thermal Experiences - Southern Nigeria National Centre for Energy Research & Development, University of Nigeria Nsukka. Solar thermal energy is presently in used for drying of grains, root crops, meat, and poultry droppings. It is also in use for the drying of laundry and timber. There are a few cases of its use for chick brooding and hot water preparation for bathing. Flat Plate, Thermosyphon, single tank SWH system Solar fish dryer The most wide spread method of crop drying is the open to air sun drying technique.

Outline of political changes in West African environment Political 15 National Action Plans for Renewable Energy in 15 West African Countries adopted in 2015»Implementation of Regional Directives for RE and EE at ECOWAS Level»Targets and measures for Solar thermal water heating until 2030 defined Cabo Verde intends to enforce law for mandatory solar heating for new buildings and is developing incentives for other buildings such as hotels www.ecreee.org
Outline of Market changes in West African environment Market: High upfront cost of solar thermal system is a barrier. Solution for tiny domestic system:» about 1500 EUR for a system for 150 l and 1.8 m2 collector» reducing size and cost to 80/90 l and 1.1 m2 of about 800 EUR for 4 head households in Cabo Verde Solar heating market small or tiny in West African countries currently almost no local manufacturing and limited R&D with little or no linkages to entrepreneurial/ manufacturing sector. Quality label for solar thermal products as solar keymark not considered for tendering and purchase Often warm water pipes are missing or insulation of pipes not considered in buildings with hot water need e.g. hospital in Cabo Verde Missing demonstration projects www.ecreee.org
Outline of qualification in West African environment Qualification, Skills and RTD Low and very basic skills for small systems Almost missing practical skills for pumped systems and hydraulics Qualification of existing professions as installers, planners, welders, technicians, etc Experienced designers & technicians missing Some training institutions offer basic courses for installers National competence centres for solar water heating missing Research barriers: Inadequate funds for Research Projects. Research is not encouraged. Lack of exploitation of the results of research results www.ecreee.org
Outline of solar thermal areas for capacity building Required Areas for actual Capacity Building Small solar thermal gravitation systems until 10m2 collector area Small and medium pumped solar water systems until 200m2 collector area Solar thermal drying of agricultural products, as herbs, coffee, tea, cereal, meat, fish Follow up Areas at a later stage, advanced level Advanced topics such as solar cooling and solar process heat would first need several practical trainings and demo projects of solar water heating systems www.ecreee.org
