Technical viability of mobile solar photovoltaic systems for indigenous nomadic communities in northern latitudes
International audience The paper assesses the viability of photovoltaic (PV) to be used in northern latitudes as a part of energy supply system for remote nomadic camps of northern communities of indigenous people involved in reindeer husbandry. Two borderline locations were for the analysis: the so...
