Default Solar Heating?

What they call winter in Crete is an overcast June day in Scotland. I

That's good. If it were to be moved south it would not have the long
summer days which are ideal for solar water heating.

Obviously this comes at a price in that the winter days are short,
but that is still enough for a solar panel to provide some useful
heat.
