No. I live in California and have solar panels on my house. I am not on the equator.

Is solar energy only available during summer?
Depends on where you are on the world. Solar energy is only available when the sun shines. Close to the equator, solar energy is about equally available year round. further away from the equator, the availability of solar energy is about proportional to the amount and intensity of sunlight.
Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Which region receive the most solar energy equatoria or polar regions?
The region on earth that receives the most solar energy is the equator. This is because the equator is the closest to the sun.
What are the disadvantages of using wind energy and solar energy?
Solar energy is not available when the day is cloudy.Wind energy is not available when wind is not blowing.
What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?
the equator
What part of the earth receives the most solar energy?
The equator.
What part of earth receives the most direct solar energy?
The equator.
What region of the earth Near the equator receives the most solar energy-?
All regions near the equator receive about the same amount of solar energy but the Atacama desert gets the most.
How is solar energy stored in living organisms?
Living organisms have the ability to store energy in many different forms. To store solar energy, living organisms create carbohydrates for their storage needs.
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
Why do the poles receive less solar energy from the sun?
The poles recieve less solar energy because they are farther from the equator than other places. The equator is the warmest place, it's where the sun gives off its most solar energy. If you have been to the Carribian you notice how it's hot and summer-like. Places by the equator don't really have seasons. Just summer weather. The poles, on the other hand, are far away from the equator, and the sun.
Why would Solar Energy be best for South African conditions?
closer to the equator thus creating hotter temperatures which gives off better solar energy.
