  Numerical Design of An Off-grid Solar Photovoltaic System for Office Shelter

  By Umar Muhammad Kangiwa, Alhassan Alhaji Shehu, Sadik Umar, Gwani Mohammed, Mudassir Na Allah

  Abstract: Electricity is essential needs for domestic and office applications. Due to the shortcomings from the national grid, renewable resources are prepared for alternative power supply rather than fossil fuels generators which pollute the environment. To provide a constant power supply, an off-grid solar PV system should adequately be designed. This paper presents the design of an off-grid solar PV system for office shelter. Solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems …

  Construction and Comparative Analysis of Passive and Active Indirect Hybrid Solar Dryer’s for Drying Tomatoes

  By Umar Muhammad Kangiwa, Gwani Mohammed, Jamilu Musa Garba, Saminu Sani, Umar Abubakar Abdullahi

  Abstract: The surplus agricultural products needed to be preserved by drying during harvesting period for long term storage. The application of modern techniques of solar thermal systems using solar dryers substitutes the use of an olden day’s method of direct sun radiation. This research entailed construction and comparative performances analysis of two different hybrid indirect solar dryers. The average daily air flow rates and temperatures in the dryer’s chamber, the weight …
