With community and educational purposes in mind, information about suppliers, configurations, and software are all open-source.

The current state of the project is hardware and software prototyping. A prototype was tested on the _Atuba River_, near a place known as [_Ecobarreira do Atuba_](https://www.instagram.com/ecobarreira_diegosaldanha/). It was "on" for 36 hours, but the battery died at the end of the night and it didn't turned back "on" when the sun recharged the battery.
