Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, the founders of Solar Impulse have successfully arrived in our nation’s capital with their solar-powered airplane. The welcoming community waiting on the tarmac when they landed gave them a flag. Bertrand and André have given a Clean Generation flag to each community in which they landed that was a scheduled stopover. This banner from the Washington DC community was a lovely reciprocal greeting. Today, the two founders of this highly successful and well received solar aircraft were presented the highest award the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) presents.
