Naps manufactured an autonomous solar photovoltaic system for the Finnish Antarctic research station Aboa in 2003-2004. The Aboa Weather Station, maintained by the Finnish Meteorological Institute, updates weather data every three hours for an international network. The weather system works solely based on photovoltaic electricity and batteries. In addition, the photovoltaic system supports the energy independence of the research station during the FINNARP exploratory trips in the Antarctic summer season.
