Practical use of solar system on Antarctic field survey ―An example of the Sor Rondane Mountains field research party, JARE-50―

The field party in the Sor Rondane Mountains, a part of the summer party of the 50th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-50), performed as outdoor survey using a solar-electric system for field camping over a period of 67 days. The total amount of power generation (output: ca 12V) varied fr...

The total amount of power generation (output: ca 12V) varied from 67 to 24 Ah/day. We obtained three important conclusions: 1) Electric power is sufficiently supplied from the solar-electric system in the field camp. 2) The solar panel (maximum output 2.3 A) used by JARE-50 generates 9-10Ah/day. 3) The solar panel did not produce electric power during the midnight sun (0000-0500 LT; the time for Showa Station area) in the Antarctic summer season.http://doi.org/10.15094/00009508
