The Belgian “Princess Elisabeth” station aims to be the first ever zero-emission research station in the world. It will be built in Antarctica by the worldly Polar Foundation during the summer season 2007-2008, and hopes to achieve its green status by equipping 408 Kyocera solar modules all by. Since the “Princess Elisabeth” research station is located in an extremely harsh environment (temperatures hitting minus 60

degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 250 km/h), a dependable energy supply is as fundamental as breathing air. Couple the Kyocera solar modules and eight wind turbines, you get a total of 98.6 kilowatt hours, suitable to ability communication infrastructure, heating and electronics.
