Solar Power News and Info
Meet the Solar Impulse. Eventually, the plane will circumnavigate the globe using nothing but solar power. Before that historic trip, however, the solar-powered airplane must pass a few tests. And earlier this month, the Impulse passed its first.
The Solar Impulse has a 60-meter wingspan with over 12,000 solar cells cloaking those wings and powering the [...]
