Observation and Simulation of Available Solar Energy at N’Djamena, Chad

Abstract The objective of this work is to evaluate the available solar potential at N’Djamena (12˚08N, 15˚04E) from 2017 to 2018. To achieve this goal, we used various datasets and model including: the in situ shortwave radiation (by pyranometer) measurement and sunshine duration (by Campbell-Stokes heliograph) obtained from N’Djamena station, observations from MODIS (aerosol optical

Long-Term Variation of Sunshine Duration and Their Inter-Action with Meteorogical Parameters over Chad, Central Africa

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the long-term variations of sunshine duration and to estimate its interaction with meteorogical parameters from 1950 to 2010 in Chad, Central Africa. The results show that Chad is the one of world’s sunniest countries. Each year, Chad receives more than 3030.91 ± 176.33 hours of sunning corresponding to 8.9
