But you can't compare the energy needs of the USA (or Canada) to Morocco. But good for them; the effort is probably highly cost effective in Morocco ... Morocco seems good for solar and wind energy generation. The solar heating days in the Canada are even worse than in the USA (further north).

In Israel water heaters have been solar heated (electric supplemented) by law for over 20 years ... Solar works well in the within 40° latitude of the equator further than that it is marginal at best.
