Never. The surface of the planet is always covered by a very thick layer of clouds, mostly carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.

Before the landing of a Soviet probe on Venus (Venera 9 in 1975), there was some debate over how much light there would be. As it turned out, the clouds let quite a bit of the light through, about the same as on a cloudy day on Earth. But this is diffuse light, and it would probably be impossible to tell where the Sun was in the Venusian sky.
