The Istiqlal Mosque Uses A Solar Panel System Facing Climate Change.
Workers are inspecting the solar panel system that provides partial electrical power to Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 3, 2024. The mosque is an example of a house of worship embracing the green building concept by utilizing solar panels as one source of electricity to meet its needs. The management has installed 500 solar panels, which have reduced the mosque's power bill by 25 percent. Additionally, with slow-flow faucets and a water recycling system, worshippers are using much less water for cleansing before prayers.

According to a report published Wednesday by Ember, a think tank based in London, for the first time, 30% of the electricity produced worldwide is coming from clean energy sources as the number of solar and wind farms continues to grow rapidly.
