Our Legacy
35 Years of History
Our team is an entirely student-run organization that designs, builds, and races world-class solar vehicles. We compete on the National and International level, and we have built 17 vehicles since our establishment in 1989.
We have 10 national championship titles and 7 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge podium finishes. In 2015, we won our first international championship at the Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge. In 2023, we finished 4th at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, and most recently, we won the 2024 American Solar Challenge.
We look forward to furthering the team’s legacy!
