The EHM is located in a high Andean rural area in southern Peru (latitude: 13° 45''40" S, longitude: 73° 51''26" W, and elevation: 3700 masl), where in situ measurements were made. The design

If future missions designed to probe environments close to the Sun will be able to use photovoltaic power generation, solar cells that can function at high temperatures under high light intensity and high radiation conditions must be developed. The sig-nificant problem is that solar cells lose performance at high temperatures.
For high-temperature operation, as discussed before, a high-bandgap solar cell ma-terial would be preferred, but the blue-deficient spectrum puts a limit on the availability of short-wavelength photons.
At the temperatures and pressures of the surface, stability against chemical attack is a significant concern. These factors combine to multiply the challenges of power on the surface. The low light intensity alone reduces power availability, and the reduction of performance of solar cells due to temperature exacerbates this difficulty.
Extending the temperature range of operation for solar arrays is highly desirable for extending the range of operation of space missions to the near-Sun environment [5e7]; interestingly, high temperatures help prevent arcing of solar arrays .
