# Use cases

Use Cases are implementation stories written by innovators and validated by the Solar Impulse technical team. They link a solution provider with an adopter, showcasing real-world applications of clean technologies. Use Cases are tailored to inspire action among potential adopters, attesting that solutions not only exist but are effectively applied in practical settings.

### What Are Use Cases?

Use Cases are:

* **Implementation Stories**: Detailed accounts of how a solution has been adopted and implemented by an end-user or organization.
* **Validated Examples**: Reviewed and confirmed by our technical team to ensure accuracy and relevance.
* **Solution-Adopter Links**: They highlight the connection between the innovator and the adopter, demonstrating successful collaboration.

### Why Use Use Cases?

* **Inspire Action**: Serve as real-world examples to motivate potential adopters to implement solutions.
* **Proof of Application**: Show that solutions are not just theoretical but are actively making a difference.
* **Impact Metrics**: Focus on the tangible results and benefits achieved through adoption.

### How to Explore Use Cases

* **Smart Search**: Use the global search function and switch from "Solutions" to "Use Cases" to find relevant stories.
* **On Solutions pages:** Solutions with use cases available are highlighted on their cards. If a solution has use cases, they will be available for browsing on the left blue panel.
* **Filtering Options**: Apply filters such as solutions, adopters, and regions (city or country) to narrow down your search.
* **Interactive Map**: Browse Use Cases geographically through an available map interface.

### Who Are Use Cases For?

* **Potential Adopters**: Organizations or individuals looking for proven solutions to implement.
* **Investors**: Those interested in backing solutions with demonstrated success.
* **Policymakers and Advocates**: Seeking examples of effective technologies for policy development or promotion.
* **Educators and Researchers**: Looking for case studies of real-world applications.

### Why Do Use Cases Matter?

Use Cases are crucial because they:

* **Demonstrate Real-World Impact**: Showcasing actual implementations validates the effectiveness of solutions.
* **Build Trust**: Validated stories provide confidence to potential adopters about the feasibility and benefits.
* **Facilitate Adoption**: By illustrating successful collaborations, they encourage others to adopt similar solutions.
* **Highlight Measurable Results**: Focusing on impact metrics helps stakeholders understand the tangible benefits.

By providing concrete examples of solutions in action, Use Cases bridge the gap between innovation and implementation, inspiring stakeholders to take meaningful steps toward adoption.
