Solar irradiance analysis, an energy technology foresight  analysis method for effective energy planning and evaluation, was used. The solar  irradiance analysis determined three solar irradiance measurements \u2013 the NiMet  pyranometer, the NASA satellite, and the Mechlouch and Brahim (2008) model.  The study determined the model graph to be incongruous with the NiMet  pyranometer and NASA satellite-derived graph plots while the NIMet and NASA  satellite plots essentially overlapped. The study adjudged the model graph as being  theoretical and inappropriate while the NiMet and NASA readings gave realistic  plots which were deemed acceptable as suitable solar irradiation benchmarks. In  conclusion the study established solar irradiance benchmarks of 15 MJ\/m2\/day  (upper (maximin) value) and 20 MJ\/m2\/day (lower (minimax) value) for the  photovoltaic power systems development in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.69798\/k2365548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]],"date-time":"2024-06-27T13:20:45Z","timestamp":1719494445000},"page":"64-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Determination of Solar Irradiance Benchmarks for Municipal Off-grid Photovoltaic Power System Development in Lagos State, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.69798","author":[{"name":"African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education, Ile-Ife","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Babatunde","family":"Salu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ibikunle","family":"Ogundari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John-Felix","family":"Akinbami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"Akarakiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"50185","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]},"container-title":["Koozakar Festschrift"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,11]],"date-time":"2026-01-11T13:04:22Z","timestamp":1768136662000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/koozakar.com\/journals\/article\/KJ-67654815"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.69798\/k2365548","relation":{},"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]]}}}
