Electricity in the Winter with Solar Power

Description:Solar power is generated when energy from the sun is converted into electricity via solar cells. It is an excellent source of renewable energy for people who do not have access to power from a grid system. It is most appropriate for countries located in the "Sunbelt", that is, countries that are within thirty degrees north or south of the equator, where there is high direct solar radiation all year round. In Northern latitudes, there is little solar radiation in winter time. (4:23)
