Abstract
The aim of this paper is to estimate the direct solar radiation on a horizontal plane in five regions of Chad using the Liu and Jordan’s model in view of the installation of a thermo-solar power plant. For this purpose, the HelioClim-3 Data Base of Solar Irradiance V5’s is used. All the results presented in this paper were obtained using Microsoft Excel software 2015. These results show that compared to the other regions considered for this study, the direct solar radiation on a horizontal plane in Moundou is less.

We have presented the potential of average monthly values per day of the direct normal solar irradiance on a horizontal and inclined plane in Chad by an obvious theoretical calculation
Summary
The development of a good number of human activities in a region is closely linked to the knowledge of its solar climate. In the field of Agronomy, an accurate understanding the phenomenon of evapotranspiration is appropriate in the evaluation of plants’ water requirements. In the field of Meteorology, it is very indispensable for climatic forecasts. Another example is the sizing of any solar energy conversion system designed to operate in a given region and of which it is essential to predict the solar radiation. In the industrial applications of solar energy, the knowledge of direct solar radiation is solely relevant. The scarcity of radiometric stations in certain countries of the world, such as Chad, makes it difficult to adequately
