    I'm not sure that I ever gave it thought to where the sunniest spot was on earth, but recently scientist did and here is the result of their study.

    Located near the western coast of South America is a large plain near the Andes Mountains, the Altiplano of the Atacama Desert. Standing at more than 4,000 meters high, this generally cold and dry spot on Earth also receives more sunlight than any other place on the planet — outshining locations that are higher in elevation and closer to the equator. In fact, the plateau can see as much sun as Venus.
