Exergy-Based Assessment of Solar Home Systems Across Nigeria's Six Geopolitical Zones

Abdulfatai Ahmed's dataset contains meteorological, thermodynamic, and economic data for modeling hybrid Solar Home Systems. The 5.8 MB XLSX file supports a comparative exergy-based assessment across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05 19:49:40 and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Model thermodynamic performance of solar home systems based on meteorological data.
• Conduct economic assessments of decentralized energy systems based on economic data.
• Perform comparative analysis of energy system efficiency across different regions based on geopolitical zone data.
• Identify thermodynamic-economic decoupling in energy performance based on exergy-based assessment data.

Strengths

• Data covers six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, providing regional breadth.
• File size is 5.8 MB, indicating a manageable download and inspection size.
• Dataset includes meteorological, thermodynamic, and economic data types for multi-faceted analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
