World tour of Solar Butterfly at IITH
As part of their mission to present 1,000 innovative ideas to combat global warming, the Solar Butterfly team visited IIT Hyderabad to educate and inspire the next generation of change-makers. This initiative demonstrates that solutions to climate change are not only possible but accessible. With cutting-edge technologies—including solar panels made from recycled ocean plastic bottles with over 24% efficiency—the SolarButterfly embodies sustainable living and the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. Since its launch in June 2022, this visionary project has set off on a four-year journey across six continents and 90 countries, spreading awareness and knowledge about climate action. The Students of IIT Hyderabad had an enriching experience interacting with the members of the Solar Butterfly team! The event started off with a presentation by the amazing team of SolarButterfly followed by a demonstration of the same. The discussions were vibrant, covering everything from innovative renewable energy solutions to practical steps individuals can take to combat climate change. Students engaged enthusiastically, asking questions and sharing ideas, all while gaining insights from the team’s inspiring journey. This interaction not only sparked new thoughts but also reinforced the importance of collective action in creating a sustainable future.
