Nigeria, like many developing nations, faces challenges in providing reliable and affordable electricity, the country relies heavily on fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas to power its electrical grid in order to meet the high energy demand solar energy have been developed. It offers numerous advantages as compared to other forms of energy like fossil fuels and other deposits. A PV solar panel is a grouping of small solar cells. These cells are organized in a specific arrangement to provide a large amount of electricity. One of the approaches to benefit from the sun energy and convert it to thermal and electrical energy is through photovoltaic (PV) Panels, the amount of energy that can be converted by a solar cell is determined by the effective insolation time, the type of PVpanel used and also the critical wether conditions lijke the humidity, Temperature, Wind etc.. This study focuses on the Energy interaction within a solar panel collector at peak hours of irradiation. Although the methods used in generation of electrical energy is same in every cell but the efficiency factor depends upon the type of material that is being used in a cell. Each kind of material used in a cell has its own advantages and disadvantages. Solar panel designs consist four main components: solar panels, an inverter, an AC breaker panel, and a net meter. Some of the common features of the solar panel is to determine the amount of electricity that a solar panel can produce, the dimensions of the solar panel and how much space it occupies, the ability of the solar panel to withstand harsh weather conditions and physical damage. To determine the ratio of the electricity output to the solar input of the solar panel (efficiency) P_PV= P_load/(PSH.η_system ), and lastly the guarantee of the solar panel manufacturers or installer to repair or replace defective panels. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on solar panel, solar declination,δ= 〖23,45〗^0 sin〖(〖360〗^0 (284+n)/365)〗, tilt angle, and solar angles to determine the enhance the solar irradiance factor at peak sun hour.
