Abstract
In the quest for alternative source of power that could be renewable, sustainable, environment friendly, pollution free and above all, energy that meet the demand of the whole world has led to the discovery of solar energy which is radiant light and heat from the sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies. The objective of this study was to determine the practical and entrepreneurial skills required by E/E technology education graduates for effective utilization of solar energy for sustainable power supply in Enugu Urban. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study consisted of 29 technicians and 55 technologists located in Enugu Urban and were entirely used as there was no sampling. A structured five point scale and weighted questionnaire was used for data collection, validated by 3-experts while the reliability was determined using Cronbach Alpha and it yielded an index of 0.87.
