The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), said it will partner with the National Agency For Science And Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Solar Energy Limited (NSEL) on training and research development.
NSE President, Tasiu Sa’ad Wudil, stated this on Monday when he led a high powered delegation on a courtesy visit to the Managing Director of (NSEL), Dr. Jafaru Mahmud.
He said the body of engineers will also persuade government agencies and non governmental organization to join in the partnership.
“We will share experiences in the sector and ensure that young engineers tap from these skills.
“I appeal to you to allow university lecturers to come on sabbatical to learn from you.
“I assure you that we will publicize this first solar company to ensure patronage both locally and internationally”.
On his part, the MD said
NSEL is currently expanding her solar PV module production
capacity from 7.5MW/annum single shift to 22MW/annum single shift
with the installation of new and higher capacity state-of-the-art Solar
Panel production machinery.
He added that, NSEL has since 2013 executed Solar PV Power System installation projects for offices, residences including over 1,200 stands of Solar
Powered Standalone Streetlights, Solar Powered Water Borehole
projects, solar power trainings across the country.
“Already, NSEL produces high quality solar panels of 20W, 40W 80W, 175W, 190W, 200W, 250W, 270W and after the expansion will include 300W and above. Also, NSEL has in the last 1 year increased her
solar power installation projects capacity from 850kW to over 1MW
executed in across the 6 Geopolitical Zones of the country.
“NSEL has contributed to research which leads to products especially in the areas of solar power solutions: design, development,
production and obtained Patents/Intellectual Property Rights of Solar
products such as: Solar Powered Control System (Patented), Plug ‘n Play Solar Home System (Patented), Solar Powered Event Generator (Patented),
Apparatus and Methods for Solar Power Trainer (Patented) and Solar
Powered Internet Enabled Backpack (Copyrighted, patent in progress).
“Similarly, NSEL has developed, produced and deployed a Solar
Powered Rural School Based reading light charging Systems in
collaboration with FUNTAJ International School which are currently
being used in some FCT rural Schools in Kuje Area Council, Abuja.
“It is with humility that I want to say that all the projects executed
by NSEL are still in operation efficiently.
“In view of the above Mr. President Sir, I wish to reiterate our prayers as follows: That you consider NSEL as first choice in the supply of Solar Panels for all the solar related projects at NSE as well as
installation of Solar Power Systems.
“Engage NSEL in training and retraining of members of NSE on solar power systems. Facilitate collaborations among NSEL and other
Engineering firms and NSE in the area of patronage of
our products and services.”
