In 2003, Olufemi Vaughan received from his ninety-five-year-old father, Abiodun, a trove of more than three thousand letters written by four generations of his family in Ibadan, Nigeria, between 1926 and 1994.

With less than a decade until we reach 2030, it is crucial to address the deep inequalities affecting not only our health but also our quality of life, and the economy of countries worldwide. Few of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be directly and indirectly achieved through the implementation of renewable energy systems, with a significant role being played by solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Solar PV systems are considered one of the most efficient methods of providing clean electrical energy, which is vital to attaining these goals. Numerous researchers across the globe are currently focusing on improving efficiency, reducing costs, recycling, reconfiguring, and developing materials for solar PV systems. By utilizing renewable energy systems for daily needs such as power generation, agriculture, EV charging, among others, we can contribute to effectively achieving the SDGs. However, it is essential to assess and highlight the level of attainment of SDGs in ongoing research of solar PV systems. This topic aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the goals and bridge the gap between research and the aim of research in SDGs.
