My house has been powered by solar panels for more than five years.
My car is a 100% electric Nissan LEAF that I have plugged into those solar panels for more than 18 months and more than 21,000 gas-free, trouble free miles.

That’s good if he’s stopped growing. Wadlow’s body outgrew it’s own ability to function normally because bodies are not made to function well at excessive heights, so Wadlow’s immune system was broken down. This is why pituitary giants don’t have longevity.
