Peak sun hours a day on flat ground. Each dot is one place.
The sunniest place in Djibouti is Dikhil (Dikhil) with 6.31 peak sun hours a day on flat ground; the least sunny is Obock with 5.98. A 1 kWp array at its best angle makes from 1,749 kWh a year in Obock to 1,851 kWh in Dikhil — 1,784 kWh on average.
The best year-round tilt runs from 12° in Djibouti to 13° in Tadjoura. Off-grid systems are sized for the darkest month and do better steeper, at 6° on average: at 70° that month brings 1.42 kWh per kWp a day in Dikhil and 1.46 kWh in Tadjoura.
