2. Can clouds increase solar irradiance reaching a photovoltaic?
     yes

3. Do solar towers that produce energy from the sun work at night?
     no

4. Which of the three (or combination of) types of solar irradiance do photovoltaics use?
    all there 

5. Which one the countries below has the highest solar irradiance potential?
   Cyprus

6. Is solar energy the solution?
    yes but more research about clouds is necessary

7. Should more focus be given to better and cheaper batteries to store energy for household use?
    yes, in this way all people aroud the world will have energy when they need it

8. If satellite imaging was open-data, and anyone could access it, would that increase the use of solar energy         systems?
    yes, because everyone could see the movement of the clouds

9. How would the world, as we know it, change, if free energy was available for all?
