Hydrogen vector for using PV energy obtained at Esperanza Base, Antarctica

摘要

The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) is universally considered valuable for its renewable and clean nature; solar energy is especially important in regions far from urban centers and power distribution networks. It is known that the loss due to the latitude and the atmospheric layer is partially offset in very different annual distribution (i.e., by the long summer days) and in sparsely populated areas, because of the clearer atmosphere. Even with these assumptions, low temperatures (snow often combined with strong winds) and the effects of seasonality are difficult obstacles for the proper use of solar PV energy at high latitudes.
