A model analysis for a hybrid biomas-solar PV microgrid was carried out in this study. The model analysis showed that it has potentials to generate electricity for Kadabo community in Kaduna state of Nigeria. The result from the data gathered showed that the maximum solar insolation is in the month of December with a daily solar radiation of m2 day and the minimum solar radiation was in August with a and radiation of m2 day. An average of kwh m2 day solar radiation was obtained for the whole of the year or simply for the whole year . Also the biomass gave an output of 30 000kW indicating that the hybrid microgrid could be a reliable and sustainable means of electricity generation for the community.
