Original Note:
Available incident energy at the space station is about 1360 Watts/square meter. In Canada and the northern US, it varies from 100-350 (due to clouds, snow, angle of incidence, etc.). Lower overall effectiveness of solar in Canada versus in space is not due to the temperature. https://www.ucalgary.ca/sites/default/files/teams/40/015.Hassan_et_al%20_SE_11.pdf
