Concordia Station, photovoltaic panels on metal structure, containers, tent, VSAT and weather shelter/building. View of part of the station and the solar array under construction. Solar energy can be harnessed 5 months a year, on a stable basis, as cloud cover is never very thick. The cold also contributes to the panels' excellent efficiency.

Two technicians finish digging a trench in the snow with shovels, in front of an outdoor electrical box. In summer, a team of around 25 technicians from various trades carry out various maintenance tasks at the resort. This includes the electrical distribution network, which is put to the test by the cold and temperature variations, and whose needs, particularly for scientific installations, are constantly increasing. Manual labor on Concordia is particularly demanding, obviously because of the cold, but also because of the lack of oxygen. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.
