Solar panels on mountain tops generate more electricity in winter than those on the roofs of buildings at lower altitude. By having them on mountain tops, many countries could reduce the power deficit that exists

A new solar energy study recently published in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," by researchers from Switzerland, found that installing solar panels on snowy mountaintops could
Higher-altitude solar panels can capture more solar energy because less solar radiation is absorbed by the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. Arrays on mountaintops have certain advantages over urban

One potential advantage of mountaintop solar panels is that mountaintops in the Swiss Alps often peek through cloud cover. Imagine an array of solar panels. Did you picture it in the middle of a dry and dusty desert? Or on a rooftop in California?
The placement of solar panels on snow-covered mountains can boost the production of electricity when it is most needed — in the cold, dark winter. Solar-power systems have long been hampered by a seasonal problem: the panels produce more energy in summer than in winter, at least in the mid-latitudes, where much of the planet’s population lives.
This high-altitude solar power plant sits in a stunning location, floating on a lake in between the Swiss Alps. This reservoir doubles as a floating solar power plant, smack back in the middle of the Swiss Alps.
Arrays sited in thin air could help to fill winter solar-power gap. Solar panels on a ski-lift building in the Alps. Sunlight reflected off snow adds to the efficiency of high-altitude arrays. Credit: Daniel Schoenen/Getty
