6 FAQs about [High-altitude photovoltaic panel installation artifact]

Are photovoltaic power plants feasible at high altitude?

The rising demand for sustainable energy requires to identify the sites for photovoltaic systems with the best performance. This paper tackles the question of feasibility of photovoltaic power plants at high altitude. A direct comparison between an alpine and an urban area site is conducted in the south of Austria.

Can PV systems be used in alpine areas?

Albeit there can be benefits of PV systems in alpine areas, there are also potential downsides such as difficult construction process or shading by heavy snow fall and ice accumulation. Estimated losses by snow and ice accumulation are 1.4% to 3.5% of the annual energy production ( Ross and Royer 1999 ).

Can a steeper surface orientation prevent snow from accumulating on solar panels?

The steeper surface orientation can also prevent snow from accumulating on the solar panel. However, the differences in measured power could be due to measurement uncertainty. Furthermore, it is not possible to derive a comprehensive conclusion by only considering a single experiment.

Can solar power be harvested in mountainous areas?

An economic aspect of solar power harvesting in mountainous areas is the cost of land. Prices of high altitude parcels could be expected to be lower due to their remote locations. Steep slopes and high distances to socio-economic centers make it less attractive for residential building projects.

Does low-cost hardware affect photovoltaic power?

This indicates a lower power loss in case of deviation from the optimal solar angles. The results show that even on low-cost hardware a difference in photovoltaic power can be observed, even though in this experiment it amounts to less than 5% increase of peak power in higher altitudes.

How does a photovoltaic system work?

The system periodically performs a scan over the southern semihemisphere and executes maximum power point adjustment in order to assess the performance for a given direction. The gathered data shows a higher photovoltaic power yield in the higher altitude test site.
