Are you looking for green ways to power your instruments in the cold polar regions and not sure what is reliable and would work? Check out PolarPower.org! This website is funded by the United States National Science Foundation and provides a wealth of information for researchers in choosing, designing, implementing, and maintaining remote power systems in polar environments.

You can read about power systems that other researchers are currently using. For example, in Antarctica, solar and wind energy are being used at remote field camps in the Dry Valleys and on Mt. Erebus. In Alaska, as well as in Greenland, solar and wind energy are also powering instrumentation 365 days a year.

We can all green up the IPY!
