ABSTRACT

In this paper the daily sunshine duration is used to estimate average global solar radiation for Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria. The daily sunshine hour were measured for five years from which the monthly mean values were determined. Angstrom model was then used to estimate the global solar radiation based on the monthly mean sunshine hour. The value of solar radiation for Maiduguri town vary from the range of  under the period of this research with the mean value of  .
