      abstract = {In this study Angstrom-Prescott model was used to estimate the global solar radiation based on the monthly mean sunshine hour for Mubi town, Adamawa State. Several models have been proposed to estimate global solar radiation. The Angstrom constants a and b of Angstrom-type correlation used in estimating monthly average global solar radiation was estimated to be 0.27 and 0.54 respectively. Global radiations obtained in this study are higher with mean value of 22.90 MJm-2 and the measured value 21.39 MJm-2 which shows the presence of high global solar energy potential in Mubi, Nigeria. The mean monthly solar radiation which was obtained is within the threshold for which Photovoltaic cell can be used to generate power. The global solar radiation intensity predicted in this study can also be utilized in design, analysis and performance estimation of solar energy systems, which is gaining significant attention in Nigeria and the world at large.},
