Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the factors that contribute to high solar energy reception: high average temperature and clear skies.
Consider the geographical and climatic characteristics of each region: Southwest, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and Northeast.
The Southwest is known for its desert climate, characterized by high temperatures and minimal cloud cover, making it ideal for solar energy.
The Midwest, while having some sunny areas, experiences more variable weather and cloud cover, reducing its solar energy potential.
The Pacific Northwest and Northeast are known for frequent cloud cover and precipitation, which limits solar energy reception compared to the Southwest.
