Since 2004, Solvay has been part of the Solar
Impulse adventure by contributed pioneering
technologies that have resulted in 13 products
being used in 25 applications and 6,000 parts.
These products improved the energy chain,
enhanced the structure, and reduced the weight of
the aircraft – crucial elements that will help to
make this ambitious flight a success. Solvay’s
expertise in advanced materials and sustainable
energy enabled the first Solar Impulse to fly around
the clock only on the sun’s energy
