However, technological advances have made it possible to use solar energy at higher altitudes and latitudes using higher-efficiency panels, also referred to as high-altitude photovoltaics. CLOU is participating in a large scare research project in the Sichuan province, 3900 m to 4500 m above sea level.
Suitable locations for installing solar panels at high altitude are: When installing a higher rooftop solar panel at a height of 27.432 meters/90 feet above the ground, a 7-12% increase in output is observed at the same time and intensity of solar radiation.
Higher-altitude solar panels can capture more solar energy because less solar radiation is absorbed by the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. Arrays on mountaintops have certain advantages over urban installations. Solar panels on top of mountains help generate electricity in the winter.
With rising height, solar UV radiation increases while the amount of air molecules, ozone, particles, and clouds above the surface decreases. Previous research has shown that solar energy harvesting at high altitudes is more effective than at sea level. There is less dispersed radiation and more direct radiation.
At the same time, air ventilation will cool down the panels, which are getting hotter by generating more power than on lower ground. PV panels at a higher altitude are receiving more solar radiation compared to the sea level, resulting in more generation of electricity. CLOU is very proud to be part of the research base.
Solar panels on top of mountains help generate electricity in the winter. Solar panels installed on top of mountains produce more electricity in the winter than solar panels installed on the roofs of low-lying buildings. In many countries, installations on top of mountains can reduce power shortages during the winter months.
Solar panels at a greater height will receive more solar radiation than those at ground level, resulting in more power output. Because good solar energy is available at a higher altitude, a more efficient PV system can be built

Step 1: Make sure the engine is “off” and the generator is cold. Step 2: Make sure the fuel switch turn “off”. Step 3: Unclip the air cleaner cover and remove foam filter elements, set them aside in a clean area. Step 4: 420cc engines: Remove the 6 (8mm) bolts that hold on the air cleaner''s back cover. 212cc engines: remove metal plate that sits in the back of the air filter.
