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.

A research team out of the University of California, Berkeley, published a paper in the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences that favors solar energy over nuclear energy to power human expeditions on the surface of Mars.

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