Researchers from the University of California have argued that human ground expedition on Mars can be powered by solar energy harvesting.

Researchers from the University of California have argued that human ground expedition on Mars can be powered by solar energy harvesting.

Longer NASA Mars missions might be possible, thanks to new tech. Is it really better than nuclear energy.

Study compared solar with nuclear, which had previously been suggested as the best option

Turns out, nuclear power isn't actually the best option for supplying a settlement on Mars with energy.

Photovoltaics could provide all the power needed for an extended mission to Mars or even a permanent settlement.

A research team from the University of California, Berkeley examined energy output levels from different types of technology.

Researchers at the University of California argued that a human expedition on the surface could be powered by harvesting solar energy.

The high efficiency, light weight and flexibility of the latest solar cell technology means photovoltaics could provide all the power needed for an extended mission to Mars, or even a permanent settlement there, according to a new analysis by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley.

Research shows solar power could be deployed across half the planet.
