True, if you mean "solar noon."  False, if you mean 12pm on the clock.
That only occurs on two days each year, which aren't even the
equinoxes (unless you live on a time zone line).  

Try www.solar-noon.com to get the time of solar noon for a given day,
longitude, and time zone.  (All three variables matter.)
