This paper examines the literature associated with the design and optimization of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy in an attempt to identify the different ways in which PV cells was used in small domesticated establishment. Preliminary as it may be, this study stands to be a source of an invaluable promotion on renewable energy-solar resources in particular. In addition, this thesis presents study on sizing and cost estimation methodology for stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) power system to provide the required electricity. In essence, highlighted are the technical and economical feasibility of a SAPV system for electricity generation. It is hoped therefore, that a proposal of the kind envisaged in this study would serve as an additional alternative on the prospects of co-opting renewable energy into the country's electricity generation mix.
