Solar power

The first Australian solar farm in Antarctica was switched on at Casey research station in March 2019. The system of 105 solar panels, mounted on the northern wall of the ''green store'', provides 30 kW of renewable energy into the power grid. These sites have extreme wind conditions that can damage wind turbines, so there is a greater

Solar power in the Antarctic

PV connectors from Stäubli are part of a demanding new field of application: installing solar power in the Antarctic. The Uruguayan government is a strong advocate for the integration of renewables and following a ten-year programme to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels. 97% of the electricity now comes from hydroelectric, solar, wind and

Running on Renewable Energies

Two of the most omnipresent features of Antarctic weather (during the Austral summer) are the wind and the sun. installed by the IPF crew to complement the solar installations. The blades of the wind turbines can close down in the event of a storm, thus reducing the rotating speed in order to prevent any damage from occurring to the
