Our Team
Constructing a car powered solely by the sun not only requires the combined knowledge of a variety of disciplines but also a tight-knit community ready to tackle any challenge they face along their journey. Learn about our dedicated teams that are working to make sustainability a reality.
Subteams
Operations
Manage logistics, marketing, branding, outreach, and sponsor relations.
Through overseeing the external and internal relations of our team, Operations ensures that the rest of the team can focus on building our solar cars.
Mechanical
Physical design and construction of the structural parts of the car.
The Mechanical team designs and builds the car’s suspension, chassis, and powertrain.
Electrical
Program, design, and integrate the car’s electrical subsystem.
Using custom designed PCBs and the CAN network, the Electrical team implements the communication backbone of the car.
Solar
Design and integration of the car’s custom solar array.
Using custom-encapsulated cells, the Solar team constructs and integrates the ultra-high efficiency solar array that powers our car.
Strategy
Research and develop race simulation or manage the AWS backend.
Using GUS simulator, the Strategy team simulates scenarios of the race on the computer. Additionally, they help manage the AWS backend of the club.
