This study explores the application of solar energy and building integration technology in Nigerian residential buildings, focusing on energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. We examine the potential of solar thermal, photovoltaic, and optical technologies in Nigeria's residential sector, considering factors like building design, materials, and climate. Challenges and opportunities in implementing solar energy systems in Nigeria are discussed, including policy frameworks, financing, and public awareness. Our findings highlight the potential for solar energy and building integration technology to address energy access and sustainability challenges in Nigeria, providing recommendations for stakeholders to promote widespread adoption.},
