What is the percentage of sunshine, on average, each state or major
city receives(preferably in chart form)?I have uploaded a document with a bar chart showing the percentage of
sunshine by state at the following url for you to save and download.

I can point you to a table that provides the percentage of annual
sunshine for a major city in each of the fifty States. This data is
not available in chart form.
Please let me know via the clarification feature if my findings would
serve your purpose and I will gladly post them as the official answer
to your question.
Thanks,
Bobbie7I finally located an excellent map that illustrates the mean
percentage of possible sunshine annually.
