The increased elevation of Loftia means that solar power is more efficient for us than it ever was for the communities of Old Earth. We benefit from cooler operating temperatures and less atmospheric interference which means that more energy is absorbed by our panels.
We decided that we should also adapt the design to be used by consumers as a personal power source on Loftian islands. The batteries for both our solar farms and personal designs use recycled materials such as copper, silicon, and glass from discarded TV and computer units in their construction.
The light of the sun is something that I will never take for granted. It creates dazzling sunsets, warm days, and power for our humble city.
