6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support in mountainous areas]

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.

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 ).

Is photovoltaic a good option for solar power generation?

This transition has lead to utilization of photovoltaic (PV) for harvesting solar energy. It is easy to install, has low impact on surroundings and it is affordable since the fuel is free of cost ( Kahl et al. 2019 ). In general, solar power generation works better in area with large solar irradiation.

Where can solar power be used in Europe?

Possible regions for such an environment are mountains. In Europe, the Alps are of special interest in this region since alpine space often has sufficient infrastructure to reach mountains via roads and to connect PV systems to the power grid and there are densely populated areas close to that region (e.g. Milan, Torino, Munich).

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.
