According to a new study, solar panels floating on seas close to the Equator could produce sufficient energy to power countries with dense populations in Southeast Asia and West Africa. For example, Indonesia could benefit from this since an offshore solar installation would generate 35,000 TWh of. . Regions near the equator experience higher solar radiation throughout the year due to direct sunlight exposure, 2. Deserts, such as the Sahara and the Mojave, attain high solar potential due to clear skies and minimal atmospheric interference, 3. Areas with innovative technologies and. .
