Estimations of global solar radiation based on a model of using normalized clearness index and normalized sunshine duration for a period of up to 25 years for Ikeja (06.39°N, 03.20°E), Enugu (06.28 0 N, 07.35 0 E), and Kano (12.03 N, 08.32E), Nigeria for each climatological stations were established. The monthly average total solar radiation was also estimated. The reliability index of the calculation varies from 2.4 to 2.6 percent. The overall results show that for Kano, the received radiation on the plane surface is higher than for Ikeja and Enugu.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
