Solar Impulse 2 Landed in Phoenix

[WheelEstate USA]

We just watched the landing of the Solar Impulse 2 on TV. Totally solar powered, this plane is on a flight around the world. Looks much like a glider, with a greater wingspan than a 747. Weighs a little over 5000 lb, 809 of which is batteries. It sports over 17,000 solar panels.
Very cool.

I wonder how much the panels weigh? 

That would be cool!
