Abstract
The construction industry faces increasing challenges in achieving sustainable, ecofriendly practices while meeting the growing demand for housing. This research
project explores the viability of rammed earth as a substitute replacement for sandcrete and concrete in building construction in Ekosodin, Edo State, Nigeria. Rammed earth, an ancient construction material requiring special technique, offers significant potential for sustainable building due to its low environmental impact, availability of raw materials, and thermal mass properties. The research will encompass a comprehensive analysis of rammed earth's structural performance, thermal efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in the context of Edo State's climate and local construction practices. By examining the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of rammed earth construction, this research aims to provide valuable insights and recommendations for promoting its adoption as a sustainable building material in Edo State, ultimately contributing to the region's sustainable development goals.

Abstract
This research provides information about solar energy ,photovoltaic systems, a significant component of Renewable Energy RE ,Photo-Voltaic. The key terms, procedures, and technology about the solar energy are presented. Anyone interested in learning more about solar power as a green alternative to traditional energy generation will have a basic knowledge of the idea and its workings thanks to the literature's absolute clarity. it it gives absolute clarity about how renewable energy has decreased air pollution, improved urban-rural energy accessibility, and reduced global warming and climate change environmental effects can result from further deepening knowledge in this area, especially within the country of Nigeria. The thesis of this study is that acquiring fundamental knowledge on the potentials of solar renewable energy .. It highlights the basic science for the design and selection of components for successfully harnessing solar power.
