"I dont think it is impossible.
An autonomous 100% solar-powered quadcopter was created in NUS. http://news.nus.edu.sg/press-releases/solar-powered-quadcopter It doesn't look very stable, but it is one example of hitting the sweet spot in terms of…"

"yeah, but i realize quadcopters dont have the surface area and dont have lift to lessen the amt of power required Andrew Murphy said:

"It seems that other people have achieved at least long (not perpetual) flight times by using this model of recharging batteries with solar during the day. The drone also would have to fly at a relatively low latitude, and again unlike projects like…"
"The drone would take the energy stored from the day and use it in the night. It needs to be in the air with as little downtime as possible, and as you mentioned, solar energy can power the drone during the day and even give additional power to be…"
"Though if I need the drone to work through the night, I will need a battery, right? Also, I just mainly need the drone to move to a place and hover for its entire flight time (and then move back to base). Will also need to add an infrared sensor. …"
Hi,It looks like a few people have tried, and sometimes have found success, in making completely solar-powered drones. As someone with little drone making experience, how can I expect to replicate this and make a similarly fully-solar powered drone?
"Hello Domi! I am building a solar drone and saw that you are experienced in this area. Do you have a discord? How do you recommend I get started? Thank you!"
