ALIENCE - Alpine PV Competence
The realisation of alpine PV plants faces a special challenge compared to plants on the Swiss Plateau. In the Alps, wind loads are higher, snow drifts occur, temperature cycles are faster and temperature amplitudes are larger, and at the same time the irradiation of energy-rich UV light is increased. This results in ...
