A Better Way to Get Around in the Amazon: Solar-Powered Canoes

The introduction of solar-powered boats has revolutionized transportation for Indigenous communities in the Ecuadorean Amazon, providing a greener, cheaper alternative to gas-powered vessels. Kara Solar, a local company, has built six electric boats, serving nine communities and hundreds of passengers across 60 miles of routes.

The solar-powered boats, which can carry up to 20 passengers, offer several advantages over traditional gas-powered vessels:

  • Lower operating costs
  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Improved access to healthcare, education, and essential services for remote communities

The adoption of solar-powered boats in the Ecuadorean Amazon highlights the potential for sustainable transportation solutions in remote, off-grid regions, promoting environmental conservation and improving the quality of life for local communities.
