About Solar Butterfly
It’s a trailer supplied only by solar energy, traveled more than 86,000 km and visited 43 countries on 4 continents. Its last trajectory is from Uruguay to Belém, Brazil, where will occur COP30, the United Nations Conference about Climate Change. Solar Butterfly arrived at Paraná Federal University (UFPR).
This project was conceived by Louis Palmer and developed by Lucerna University (HSLU), in Switzerland. The objective is to present sustainable and economically viable solutions in many schools and universities around the world.
The trailer has approximately 40m^{2} of solar panels, which open like a butterfly’s wings.
Most of the trailer’s inner walls are made of recycled PET bottles collected from the sea.
