I need to classify a raster of annual direct normal irradiation - DNI (values in the range 27–3865 KWh/m2) in varying degrees of potential (e.g. extremely low, very low, low, medium, high, very high and extremely high).There is a specialized source in which different types of DNI potential are concretely classified in certain intervals?
If no, the best method is the natural breaks (Jenks classification method) for delimitation of classes of interest?
I searched a lot in literature but I have not found a specific classification (generally only classes like 0-200, 200-400, etc., but without a particular appreciation of classes). I am interested in about 7 general assessment classes, framed in specific intervals.
In the case of wind, for example, there are such classes for assessing its potential (Poor, Marginal, Fair, Good, Excellent, Outstanding, Superb), proposed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). But not in the case of solar potential (energy) assessment.

Dear Himadri Nath Saha / Zeashan Khan,
Thank you for your answers! I have not yet found an answer, because in these sources there is no clear classification for solar potential (so each class to be appreciated as having a particular potential, for example small, medium or large).
