Abstract: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) can be considered as one of the most reliable and promising renewable systems. This is of great importance for developing countries like Nigeria. this paper will investigate the facade photovoltaic systems (facade PV) integrated into institutional building in Nigeria. Comparing to the rooftop solar, the facade solar system can install a larger number of solar panels on the vertical wall of building. In addition, it also helps to reduce the energy consumption of building. However, the comprehensive study of facade solar system is still lacking in Nigeria. Therefore, in this study we present the general design process of facade PV for building, including choosing suitable solar panel, facade PV wall. The study will open a new room for application of facade PV system for the institutional building in Nigeria.
