The sun is usually viewed in connection with warm climate and high levels of sun rays, but the Arctic in Canada is proving that wrong. Renewable energy systems are also being subjected to extreme environmental conditions in one of the coldest regions on earth that are inhabited. Engineers and scientists are testing the performance of solar panels in low temperatures, high amounts of snow, and quality of daylight. Such real world experiments provide important lessons on durability and scalability of solar technology in the future.
