How many hours does the sun shine in your country? How much is the utilization of solar energy?
My country is Ethiopia and the capital city is Addis Ababa.
- The sunshine hours in Addis Ababa range between 2:48 for every day in July and 9:42 per day in December
- The longest day of the year is 12:31 long and the shortest day is 11:28 long.
- The longest day is 1:02 longer than the shortest day.
- There is an average of 2439 hours of sunlight per year (of a possible 4383) with an average of 6:40 of sunlight per day.
- It is sunny 55.6% of daylight hours. The remaining 44.4% of daylight hours are likely cloudy or with shade, haze or low sun intensity.
- At midday the sun is on average 74.1° above the horizon at Addis Ababa.
Iraq: 10-12 hours sunshine.
solar energy is nearly nonexistent
Hi
In Iraq I think : 9-12 hours sunshine.
solar energy is nearly nonexistent
regards
The sun in my summer, winter, spring and autumn was never exploited
my Country Nigeria we have long time of sun shine almost 10 hrs or more especially in the North but solar energy is just in the awareness
in my country and specially my area in winter season like in January sun shines for 730 am to 5pm
and most of time weather is clear and sun shines at its maximum. so one can utilize maximum solar energy
In Iraq sunshine time ranged between 10 hours in winter up to 14 hours in midsummer where sun rise about 5 o’clock and sun set about 7 past 15 .Solar energy use almost nil .

Very good and thought provoking question.
In Pakistan, the annual average sunshine is 8hr/day. Winter has the lowest sunshine with 6.1hr/day, and summer experiences the highest sunshine of above 9hr/day. But unfortunately it is not used as a major source of energy. Due to electricity crises, solar panels have been introduced in the market. Due to high prices, it is out of reach of poor people. With the passage of time some improvements are expected.
I agree with Dr. Nafees, solar power utilization is a matter of expense, for electricity, some trade-off between the expense of traditional electricity and solar panels shall be carried out, governmental support is a must, especially in initialization phases.
Dear respected Azzam Sabah Hameed,
In my country Nigeria, sun mostly shine between 6:45 am to 6:45 pm. This indicates that that sun shine (day light) hours in my location (Ogun state) in Nigeria is between 11 to 12 hours but the peak sun shine estimated using solar panel for the location was 6.4 hours per day.
Solar energy in my country is under utilized.
Best regards.
Kifilideen.
