Many national Antarctic programmes (NAPs) have adopted hybrid systems combining fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, with a preference for solar or wind depending on the specific location of the research station and previous experiences with certain technologies.
In addition to the use solar energy in Antarctic stations, there are also prototypes of robots and vehicles that are powered using solar energy from the solar reflection in the snow, which can help to reduce fuel consumption significantly during the summer months, when most research and operations are carried out (Lever et al. 2006).
