RE: New Solar Power Concept for Mars

in #mars12 hours ago

In theory they seem very efficient, but if there is strong wind, it would happen like with clothes, they would collide with each other and break. Perhaps better like a trampoline but vertical.

Sort:  

Atmospheric pressure on Mars in 1/1000th of Earth's.

While there is wind, the wind pressure is around 1/1000th of Earth's so will be no issue for vertically hanging solar panels, even in the most extreme conditions.

I didn't know that. So you're right, there wouldn't be a problem and they would be much more effective.
