The amount of solar energy that a place receives relates to the angle at which the sun's rays strike earth
That would be the area around the equator.
On January, when it is closest to the Sun (but only a little bit).

It is the angle at which sunlight strikes the area.
The region near the equator, known as the tropics, receives the most solar energy. This area is characterized by having the sun directly overhead at noon during the equinoxes, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths. Due to the Earth's tilt, the tropics experience a more direct angle of sunlight, leading to more intense solar radiation and higher temperatures compared to other regions. The equatorial region is also home to rainforests, which benefit from the abundant solar energy to support high levels of biodiversity and lush vegetation.
The region of the Earth that is receives the most sunlight is capable of having the most solar energy. This would include all the area from 23.5o N to 23.5o S, the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. On the winter solstice, the sun is directed on the Tropic of Capricorn, and on the summer solstice, the sun is directed on the Tropic of Cancer. So that means the sun never exceeds those lines of latitude.
Intensity of insolation refers to the intensity of the sun's rays on the earth's surface. It is a measure of solar energy that is received by a given surface area at a given time.
The position of the area in relation to the sun.

The 70% of the sun's energy that is absorbed by the earth's surface, differences in solar energy that the earth receives across the globe.
It is the angle at which sunlight strikes the area.
The Sun. Earth receives 1370 Watts per square meter of area of solar energy
Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!
The position of the area in relation to the sun.
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
the area of direct insolation
And the water's movement.
