Abstract :Abstract: The sun is one of the major sources of energy, the distance, position and rotation of the sun and the earth are obtained for proper collector design. The declination angles, zenith angles, solar azimuth angles and the incident angles of Benin City, Edo State where obtained considering the ambient conditions, longitude and latitudes of site under consideration. As a result of this the radiation on a tilted surface were obtained for more enhance flat plate solar collector design.Keywords : Angular solar relations, solar collector, declination angle
