6 FAQs about [High-altitude transportation of solar photovoltaic panels]

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.

Can Airbus use solar energy to power unmanned aerial vehicles?

Airbus, we are harvesting the sun’s energy to power the high-endurance, solar-powered stratospheric flight of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Where do solar panels get their power?

PV panels often get their power from low-lying areas where sunlight intensity is high, like deserts and industrial parks. 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.

Can solar energy power high-endurance stratospheric flight?

At Airbus, we are working to use this alternative renewable energy source to power high-endurance stratospheric flight. Our advances in solar cell technology enable unmanned aerial vehicles to stay aloft in the stratosphere for extended periods, using only sunlight as energy. Our work in solar flight is focused on:
