Popis:	The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will be the largest Global science project of the next two decades. It will encompass a sensor network dedicated to radioastronomy, covering two continents. It will be constructed in remote areas of South Africa and Australia, spreading over 3000Km, in high solar irradiance latitudes. Solar Power supply is therefore an option to power supply the SKA and contribute to a zero carbon footprint next generation telescope. Here we outline the major characteristics of the SKA and some innovation approaches on thermal solar energy Integration with SKA prototypes. Comment: 4 pages; 3 figures. Paper accepted for presentation at Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Integration on Solar Power into Power Systems; 12th-13th November, 2012, Lisbon, Portugal
