Solar-Powered Boat Traverses World's Highest Lake

December 28, 2025

Swiss solar pioneer Raphaël Domjan and the PlanetSolar II team navigated more than 300 miles across the world’s highest navigable lake, using nothing but sunlight to power their journey. Along the way, they collected water samples and gathered performance data from the boat’s solar panels, proving that clean, solar-powered navigation is not just possible, it’s the future.
