Energy in Nigeria today makes up a significant portion of a business's operating costs. In some areas, especially off-grid areas, it is more cost-effective to deploy solar systems than buy generators. The average cost of solar energy has made solar an increasingly appealing investment for Nigerian businesses. Consequently, homes and organizations are switching to solar energy because it reduces their energy costs, helping them improve their budget. Sadly, the industry lacks adequate and skilled manpower for all these installations, which is the reason most homes and businesses are yet to transition to this cleaner and affordable energy source. One of the biggest challenges for Nigeria's booming solar energy industry is getting skilled manpower. The unavailability of appropriately skilled manpower has been identified as one of the most prominent challenges in hiring required personnel. Asteven Energy Institute, the first innovation enterprise institute accredited by the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE, has taken up the task of seeing that there are more skilled hands doing these installations. Our institute achieves this goal through two programs: - Short courses on solar photovoltaic installation(SPVI)
- National innovative Diploma (NID) in Solar Energy Technology.
At Asteven Energy Institute, we believe that there is a better way to power our lives. We believe in writing a new energy story for our nation. We want to make things better, from the environment to your family budget. Solar power is the simpler, smarter, cleaner way. As the price of oil is steadily increasing, the price of solar energy is on the decline, creating new job opportunities. If you are considering a career in the solar industry but are still on the fence, consider enrolling in our courses today. |
