Solar Power In The Arctic & Antarctica
. So, the question isn’t whether the Arctic and Antarctica are warm enough, but whether they get enough sun exposure.
The amount of power the sun provides at the poles is significantly less than in many other areas of the world. This is because of the angle at which the sun’s rays hit the surface. As the Earth is tilted on its axis, the sun’s rays hit the poles at an oblique angle. In turn, this means that the same solar radiation is spread over a larger area, making it less dense.
So, solar power may not be sufficient to consistently power research centers year-round without other power generation methods. Yet, advancements in solar panel technology do mean that solar power is an essential and growing part of most research centers in these regions.Previously, we mentioned how solar panels can actually be more efficient in colder regions. But this doesn’t mean that the use of solar panels in extremely cold environments is without its challenges.
