Abstract

This study presents the design and analysis of a 5 kW solar tree system tailored for residential applications in Bauchi State, Nigeria, offering a cost-effective and space-efficient renewable energy solution. Aimed at meeting a daily energy demand of 30,000 Wh, the system is optimized based on the region’s solar irradiance levels. The design incorporates essential components, including photovoltaic (PV) modules, a charge controller, a battery bank, an inverter, and a structurally robust steel support framework. Performance evaluations indicate an operational efficiency exceeding 86% and annual electricity cost savings of approximately $1,415. Structural validation using engineering analysis yields a safety factor of 2.85, confirming the system's resilience to wind loads and environmental stresses. The study underscores the potential of solar tree systems to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to Nigeria’s broader transition toward sustainable energy infrastructure.

Abstract

This study addresses the need for space-efficient, cost-effective residential renewable energy solutions in Nigeria by introducing and evaluating a 5 kW solar tree system tailored to Bauchi State’s solar conditions. The research objective is to determine whether the proposed system can reliably meet a daily energy demand of 30,000 Wh while delivering high performance, durability, and economic benefits. Methodologically, the system is designed with photovoltaic modules, a charge controller, a battery bank, an inverter, and a steel support structure sized for the region’s irradiance; performance, cost savings, and structural integrity are assessed using efficiency, annual bill reduction, and a calculated safety factor. Key findings show that the system achieves over 86% efficiency, saves US$1,415 annually on electricity bills, and attains a safety factor of 2.85, indicating robustness against wind and environmental loads; the configuration fulfills the targeted daily energy requirement. The study concludes that the solar tree provides a viable, space-efficient residential solution that reduces reliance on fossil fuels. The contribution and implication are a practically implementable design that can support household-level energy transition efforts and inform wider deployment of residential solar technologies in Nigeria.
