Solar Energy & Photovoltaics

Teams explore photovoltaic systems, solar thermal applications, battery storage, and off-grid deployment strategies. Proposals should address a real energy access challenge in a Lagos community using solar technology as the primary source.

Example proposals

• Rooftop solar microgrids for school clusters
• Solar-powered water pumping systems
• PV-integrated street lighting for underserved estates

Energy Efficiency & Conservation

This track focuses on reducing demand rather than increasing supply. Teams design systems, retrofits, or behavioral tools that measurably lower energy use - in schools, markets, homes, or public infrastructure.

Example proposals

• Smart load management for school buildings
• LED lighting retrofit kits for low-income housing
• Passive cooling design for classrooms

Biogas & Waste-to-Energy

Teams design systems that convert organic or municipal waste into useful energy forms - biogas for cooking or electricity, compost for agriculture, or circular models that eliminate energy waste in production processes.

Example proposals

• Household-scale biogas digesters from food waste
• Waste-to-biogas systems for school canteens
• Agricultural residue conversion for rural communities
