Renewable energy resources are those having a cycling time less than 100 years and are renewed by the nature and their supply exceeds the rate of consumption. Renewable energy systems use resources that are constantly replaced in nature and are usually less polluting. This project work estimates the solar radiation flux over Ibadan, a south-western city in Nigeria. The estimated models for the solar radiation over Ibadan are obtained for the period of ten years (1995 to 2004). The solar radiation model of the year 2000 was later found to be the best for the estimation of the solar radiation in Ibadan. This gives a similar result between the estimated values, and recorded values from instrument of the solar radiation flux, over Ibadan.
