The first world tour of history with solar energy is a success !
Dear Friends of PlanetSolar,
Wednesday morning on May 2nd, we are leaving Calvi and its snowy summits. Patrick Marchesseau joined us and we are leaving Corsica for Monaco. On Thursday, we are breaking the PlanetSolar energy yield record with the help of our star: 661 kWh.
We have completed the first world tour of history with solar energy on the 4th of May 2012, at 14.12 hours and 30 seconds. It is simply amazing, I don’t have enough words to express my feelings during this unique moment.
We have covered 60’023 km, crossed all the oceans, and reached all the continents. We have done it all with solar energy only. We have achieved the first trans-continental solar navigation, the first solar navigation of the Panama and Suez Canal, the first crossing of the Indian Ocean, the China Sea, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Achieving the first solar circumnavigation was a great chance for all the crew of PlanetSolar. We will remember this extraordinary adventure forever.
