Abstract
This study investigates the possibility of using solar energy as an alternative to the University of Benin's unstable electrical supply from the Benin Distribution Company (BEDC). Using a descriptive survey approach, data was collected from 100 students using a standardized questionnaire and analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings show that an irregular power supply disturbs academic activity, but solar energy provides economic and environmental benefits. However, obstacles such as funding and policy constraints exist. The analysis suggests supportive policies, financial incentives, and investments to encourage using solar energy on campuses
