At the "sub-point" of the Sun; when your latitude equals the Sun's declination. The Sun will be straight up at that location.
It depends on the time of year of course.
For example, on the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn this happens at the summer solstice there.
At the equator it happens twice a year, at the equinoxes.
