STANFORD SOLAR CAR PROJECT

STANFORD SOLAR CAR PROJECT

DRIVEN BY INNOVATION

Founded in 1989, the Stanford Solar Car Project is an entirely student-run, non-profit organization fueled by its members’ passion for environmentally sustainable technology. We provide a unique opportunity for Stanford students to gain valuable hands-on engineering and business experience while raising community awareness of clean energy vehicles. Every two years, the team designs, builds and races a solar car in an international race event- planning this cycle to compete in the SASOL Solar Car Challenge.

In 2013, our team finished 4th overall and we were North America’s No. 1 team. In 2015 and 2017 we finished 6th and 9th respectively. Building off this string of top-10 finishes, we are pushing ourselves to be more creative, innovative, and competitive than ever going into the next race.
