Photovoltaics and Energy Security in the Greater Arctic Region

Summary

This report from IEA PVPS Task 13 addresses the critical challenge of deploying reliable and high-performing photovoltaic (PV) systems to improve energy security in the Greater Arctic Region, where extreme cold, low irradiance, and heavy snow pose significant hurdles. It outlines an approach that involves compiling operational data, developing performance calculation frameworks, and documenting best practices for PV design and operation in these unique conditions. The report, completed in February 2026, serves as a vital resource, summarizing existing knowledge and offering guidance to enhance the effectiveness of solar energy solutions in Arctic climates.
