The use of solar power in generating electricity is still very much at its infancy in Nigeria despite the abundant solar energy available in the country. The heavy dependence on cheap petroleum product has not helped matter as more investments are attracted to the oil sectors because of the huge returns. However the destabilizing effects of fuel price increments had pushed for alternative sources of energy with little uncertainties. This study was conducted to assess the use of solar power systems in public facilities where most of the solar power equipment is being used. Using random sampling, questionnaires were administered and the finding suggest that public knowledge of the solar equipment are still very low, the initial cost were high and the people would want it installed in their residence to solve their power needs.
