HISTORYThere is no historical background of "Solar" as a concept in Katsina on Wikipedia because there is no such historical entity; instead, there are modern solar power projects, like the Katsina Solar PV Park 1 owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria, currently under development with expected commercial operation by 2026. Other large-scale solar energy projects are also planned, such as the Pan African Solar Power Project. Modern Solar Development in Katsina
