Ivory Coast: solar radiation hourly

An estimated daily direct normal irradiation (DNI) of 3.51 thousand watt-hours per square meter (Wh/m²) was registered for the month of January in Ivory Coast, in the period between 1994 and 2018. Furthermore, the hours between 10 AM and 3 PM were expected to maximize the amounts of solar radiation (more than 400 Wh/m²) received per unit area, compared to other times of the day. The hours that were less likely to produce high amounts of irradiance were those between 7 AM to 8 AM and 5 AM to 6 PM, which are usually sunrise and sunset hours, respectively.

Supplementary notes

Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) is the amount of solar radiation received per unit area by a surface that is always held perpendicular (or normal) to the rays that come in a straight line from the direction of the sun at its current position in the sky.

The source explains that this statistic is calculated for a period of 25 years. It adds that the underlying solar resource database is calculated by the Solargis model from atmospheric and satellite data with 15-minute and 30-minute time step.

The hours shown here are only those estimated to produce solar PV power.
