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. 

WHO WE ARE

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.

WHERE WE COME FROM

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.
