Clean Energy Innovation

AV’s history of developing advanced clean power system technologies dates back to its earliest projects. Since 1971 the company and its people have established numerous groundbreaking clean energy milestones, including designing and flying the world’s first human powered aircraft, the Gossamer Condor, and the first solar powered manned aircraft, the Solar Challenger. AV also designed and built the GM Sunraycer, which set a record for solar powered vehicles.

Today, AV’s clean power projects can be found harvesting wind energy, solar energy, and ocean energy. These solutions, whether they provide power for remote applications or are utility grid-connected, deliver clean energy that improves our lives and minimizes our impact on the environment.
