The amount of incoming solar radiation received at a location.
Solar power benefits from strong insolation and frequent clear skies. Subtropical desert regions around 30° north and south often have high solar potential because strong sunshine combines with relatively little cloud. Lower potential does not mean solar power is impossible; it means the same installation may generate less electricity.
