Antarctica solar plus total energy solutions

Running on Renewable Energies

The energy-producing solutions implemented at the Princess Elisabeth Station are incredibly efficient, so much so that solutions had to be foreseen for storage of any excess energy. A room full of classic lead-acid batteries enables the station to store energy for times when demands exceeds the current energy production.

solar power systems must confront the climate effects caused by snow. Snow can shade the surface of modules, resulting Solar in harsh climates | Antarctica is one of the harshest and most inhospitable environments for human activities due to its extreme climate. Traditionally, research stations in Antarctica were powered by fossil fuels.

Renewable energy in Antarctica

The awareness for renewable energy supply and the avoidance of CO 2 emissions at the Antarctic research stations is growing. Some energy concepts with renewable technologies have already been implemented and many stations want to convert their energy supply from fossil combustion engines to green technologies.

(PDF) Progress on Renewable Energy in Antarctic Research Facilities

One of the ﬁrst uses of solar energy in Antarctica was to heat water and melt ice. As solar PV panels became more efﬁcient and cheaper, they began to be incorporated into the production of electricity in Antarctica. For example, Wasa Station (Sweden) uses solar energy to provide both heating and electricity.
