This study proposes a temperature-based model of monthly mean daily global solar radiation on
horizontal surfaces for selected cities, representing the six geopolitical zones in N igeria. The modelling was
based on linear regression theory and was computed using monthly mean daily data set for minimum and
maximum ambient temperatures. The results of three statistical indicators: Mean Bias Error (MBE), Root Mean
Square Error (RMSE) and t-statistic (TS); performed on the model along with practical comparison of the
estimated and observed data validate the excellent performance accuracy of the proposed model.
Key words: Ambient temperature, empirical model, global solar radiation, Nigeria, regression analysis, ,
