Formation and Early Vision

The Solar Energy Society of Nigeria (SESN) was established as a professional and academic platform to promote the development, research, and application of solar energy technologies in Nigeria. The Society emerged in response to the growing need for sustainable and renewable energy solutions to address Nigeria's persistent energy challenges.

The Society was founded by engineers, scientists, researchers, policymakers, and renewable energy advocates who recognized Nigeria's vast solar energy potential. Located in the tropical region, Nigeria receives abundant sunlight throughout the year, making solar energy a viable alternative for national development.
