6 FAQs about [Using solar energy to generate electricity at high altitude]

Can solar energy be used at higher altitudes?

However, technological advances have made it possible to use solar energy at higher altitudes and latitudes using higher-efficiency panels, also referred to as high-altitude photovoltaics. CLOU is participating in a large scare research project in the Sichuan province, 3900 m to 4500 m above sea level.

How does high altitude affect solar energy harvesting?

With rising height, solar UV radiation increases while the amount of air molecules, ozone, particles, and clouds above the surface decreases. Previous research has shown that solar energy harvesting at high altitudes is more effective than at sea level. There is less dispersed radiation and more direct radiation.

Why do solar panels get hotter at higher altitudes?

At the same time, air ventilation will cool down the panels, which are getting hotter by generating more power than on lower ground. PV panels at a higher altitude are receiving more solar radiation compared to the sea level, resulting in more generation of electricity. CLOU is very proud to be part of the research base.

How does altitude affect solar radiation?

Generally, solar radiation increases with increasing altitude due to smaller optical air masses. Com- pared with low altitudes, radiation at high altitudes traverses a shorter path length through the atmosphere and thus under- goes less scattering and absorption.

Why does solar altitude vary?

This variation is due to the annual changes in the relative position of the Earth to the Sun. At 50 degrees North, maximum solar altitude varies from 63.5 degrees on the June solstice to 16.5 degrees on the December solstice (Figure 6h-10).

What is solar altitude?

Solar altitude is the angle of the sun relative to the Earth's horizon, and is measured in degrees. The altitude is zero at sunrise and sunset, and can reach a maximum of 90 degrees (directly overhead) at noon at latitudes near the equator. The solar altitude varies significantly by your latitudinal position on Earth.
