The solar energy potential in Jordan is enormous as it lies within the solar belt of the world with average solar radiation between 4 and 8 KWh/m2, which implies a potential of 1400-2300 GWh per year annually. Electricity demand in Jordan plays a significant role in the high amount of energy consumption to cover the needs of heating, cooling, lighting, etc. For that, the availability of the solar radiation infor-mation becomes essential to help in the design and building of the solar energy application. In this study, a solar radiation map is provided of all Jordan governorates.

The cost and availability of conventional energy sources currently used as inputs for agricultural production continue to be a very important concern in planning and decision making. Interest in solar energy for use in space and water heating, grain drying, and other areas, has been stimulated because it is technically feasible, abundant, renewable, and nonpolluting. Although it is reasonably reliable and can provide a large portion of the total heat need for many situations, it does require an auxiliary source of energy.
