Polar solar power plants – Investigating the potential and the design challenges

•The function of solar power plants in Polar regions can be jeopardized by snowdrifts.•PV array snowdrifts exhibit a similarity with snow fence snowdrifts.•Snow fence theory can be used to minimize the accumulation from the PV arrays.•Yield measurements emphasize the potential of solar power in Pola...
