UASHINGTON, DC - O le vaalele a Swiss solar, Solar Impulse, na paʻi i lalo i se faʻafeiloaʻiga mafanafana i Rabat, Morocco i le po anapo, lele mai Madrid ma faʻamaeʻaina lelei le vae lona lua o lana vaʻalele vaʻavaʻa 2,500-kilomita mai Suiselani i Morocco. .

Mustapha Bakkoury, Peresetene, Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy, (MASEN), na auai i le faafeiloaia o le pailate Bertrand Piccard, o le na taʻua le vaalele i luga o le Strait of Gibraltar "o se taimi faʻalavelave" ma na ia matauina na faia e Solar Impulse le malaga "e aunoa ma se mataua o le fossil. suauu.” I Morocco, o le Solar Impulse team o le a auai i mea e faʻaalia ai le fesoʻotaʻiga ma le gafatia o tekinolosi faʻafouina, aemaise lava le malosi o le la, i lalo o le lagolago a le Tupu Mohammed VI ma le valaaulia a le MASEN, lea e vaʻaia le atinaʻeina o le malosi o le la a Morocco.

O le vaalele a le la e fetaui lelei ma le fausiaina o le fausiaina i Morocco i saute o le fale tele o le la, o se poloketi faʻatupeina e le Faletupe a le Lalolagi e amata i Ouarzazate lea o le a faʻaogaina ai le la o Sahara e maua ai le 2,000 megawatts o malosiaga faʻafouina mo Aferika i Matu ma Europa ma faʻatupu galuega. mo le toatele i le eria. Ouarzazate o le va'alele sola lea e sosoo ai, pe a mae'a le lima aso malolo i Rabat.

Na ta'ua e le Bakkoury a le MASEN o le sola Impulse e taua tele mo le fa'alauiloaina o le malosi o le la e fa'aitiitia ai le fa'alagolago o le lalolagi i le suau'u. "Matou te faʻasoa se feʻau masani ma Solar Impulse," o lana tala lea. "O le malosi o le la e le o toe faʻatapulaʻaina i le lalolagi faasaienisi ae ua avea ma vaega taua o tatou olaga i aso uma." Fai mai a ia, o le a gaosia e Morocco le malosi o le la i le 2014, pe a fuafua e le Solar Impulse lana taamilosaga i le lalolagi atoa.

Mo pailate, Piccard ma Andre Borschberg, o mea uma e uiga i le lele. O Borschberg na fa'ata'ita'iina le vae muamua mai Suiselani i Madrid i le aso 25 o Me, fa'alelei ai le va'alele e 207-ft le apa'au ma lona 12,000 solar cell. I Rabat na ia fai mai ai, "O lenei vaalele e faailogaina se tulaga fou i le talafaasolopito o le poloketi." O le tulaueleele ma se seti atoa o maa sa “tulaga ese ma ua faatusaina i le faateleina o le mautinoa i tekinolosi fou”.

Fai mai Piccard, “O le Solar Impulse e faatusa i le agaga paionia ma le tagata su’esu’e e mana’omia e su’e ai ni vaifofo fou, i fafo atu o mausa tuai ma mautinoa, e tali atu ai i luitau o aso nei.”

OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

The solar-powered flight coincides with construction launch in southern Morocco of the world’s largest solar thermal plant, a World Bank-financed project commencing in Ouarzazate that will harness the Sahara sun to produce 2,000 megawatts of renewable energy for North Africa and Europe and create jobs for many in the area.
In Morocco, the Solar Impulse team will join events highlighting the convergence and capacity of renewable energy technologies, particularly solar power, under the patronage of King Mohammed VI and at the invitation of MASEN, which oversees Morocco’s solar energy development.
In Rabat he said, “This flight marks a new stage in the history of the project.
