At the north (or south) pole there will be roughly between zero sunshine and 6 months of sunshine (zero during the winter half year, and sunshine all the time during the summer half. That is theoretical sunshine, it takes a few days for the sun to rise and a few for the sun to set and if you factor into the situation that the atmosphere bends light then no six months will be entirely without sunshine (unless it is cloudy then which at the poles is a safe guess that it will be).
