Foundation of Motores Amazonas under the Kara Solar initiative.





Achuar riverside communities, together with a top-level engineering team, developed our own advanced technology, created with a vision from the heart of the rainforest.
Why we do what we do.
To protect the Amazon ecosystem.
Strengthen local culture.
Provide autonomy from external roads and fossil fuels.
Simple.
How we do it
We develop simple, autonomous, robust, safe, and eco-friendly systems. We train local technicians and provide knowledge, tools, and spare parts to repair the systems quickly and efficiently.
A company based in Ecuador that develops and manufactures, solar propulsion systems specifically designed for boats operating in the world’s most biodiverse tropical rainforests.
We originated from the Kara Solar Foundation after 12 years of experience implementing solar-powered boats in the Amazon. Today, we collaborate to deploy solar-powered river transportation through the Amazon basin.
