Choice Analyses For Using Solar Energy In Aiding Agricultural Activities In Borno And Yobe State

Abstract

Human hesitations caused by the exhaustion of fossil fuels have quickened research on acquiring energy from unconventional sources. One of such sources is the Solar (glowing Sun). The paper reviews the possibility of using solar energy in agricultural activities. It should also be stressed that it is energy-friendly to the ecosystem, whose accession to agricultural land, which occasionally had a defective approach to the power grid, is now authentic and lucrative. This study focuses on two states of Nigeria that are geographically east in the north considering the sun intensity in the region. The research overviews related articles on solar power use in agriculture; Solarization of farms, applications, chances and hazards; Synergies in the water-energy-food nexus through solar energy farming; Agricultural application of solar; solar greenhouse; solar water heaters; Agricultural solar technologies; advantages and disadvantages of solar on the farm; the importance of renewable energy in agriculture; missing capacity; factors affecting solar panel. Recommendations based on the findings.
