So I wouldn’t write off NZ’s solar potential in future. According to EECA solar water heating in NZ is growing at about 30% per annum. http://www.eeca.govt.nz/efficient-and-renewable-energy/renewable-energy/solar-energy-in-nz

New Zealand, where I live is cloudy or rainy most of the time, so it’s not ideal here and as such we have more wind power.

Our big brother Australia however, have vast tracts of desert and good sunshine which can easily support gigawatts of power. Same goes for Brazil and South Africa I guess.
