Characteristic distribution of total, diffuse and direct solar radiation at calabar

Abstract

In this paper, a number of years of data on sunshine duration has been estimated to determine the daily, monthly and yearly distribution of solar radiation at Calabar. Similarly, daily irradiation on a monthly average for several inclinations was computed. A mean irradiance of 14.33MJ/m2 per day is recorded for Calabar.

Keywords: Solar radiation characteristic distribution Calabar.
