Abstract

Solar energy will remain the most environmentally clean and abundant renewable energy ever on earth surface. Hence, a handy process for predicting the solar radiation is very vital. Meteorological parameters namely; sunshine duration, maximum air temperature and relative humidity have been used to develop two model equations (12) and (13) for predicting solar radiation for Potiskum. For these model equations (12) and (13) respectively, the coefficients of determination
