I asked this question before but I was not clear enough in my question (and i cant answer my own question to provide clarification on the old thread). I read elswhere that the poles, in their respective summer soltices, get more radiation than the equator. Which begs the question, where gets the least? Mid lattitudes? The equator? Obviously when the south is in summer the north is in winter and vice versa and the winter side pole will get least sun. That isnt what i am asking. On the summer side of the earth (either north or south), on its longest day, which lattitude gets the most solar energy, bearing in mind that the summer pole will get 24 hours of low sun while the equator will get 12 hours of mostly high sun.
