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

A report published on Wednesday by Ember, a think tank based in London, indicates that 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.
