Researchers developed a portable balloon-mounted PV system, showing high efficiency and CO2 reduction in mid to high-latitude regions.

The system features a customized balloon, 19% cadmium telluride solar cells, exhaust valve, control modules, and ropes for stable operation.

According to researchers, BIPVSs at high latitudes showed higher average output during effective working months. Over their lifecycle, BIPVSs in selected cities can generate 480–700 GWh of power.In 2021, global solar PV generation surged by 179 TWh, a 22 percent increase from the previous year. This brought the total solar generation to over 1000 TWh, which now accounts for 3.6 percent of global power, alongside hydropower and wind power.

PV systems are generally categorized into centralized and distributed systems. Centralized systems are typically installed in remote areas but face issues with power loss and high transmission costs.
