Solar above 60° North: The Arctic as PV’s next frontier

Solar above 60° North: The Arctic as PV’s next frontier

An IEA-PVPS report finds that solar power above 60° North is not only viable but rapidly expanding, driven by cold-climate performance gains, bifacial technologies, and rising energy security needs. While challenges like extreme seasonality, snow, permafrost, and scarce data remain, Arctic PV is emerging as a critical—and technically distinct—frontier for global solar deployment… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/31/solar-above-60-north-the-arctic-as-pvs-next-frontier/
