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.
