Where we compete

Our Races

The calendar

Each cycle we take SolEater to the two premier collegiate solar racing events in North America — a track sprint and a cross-country endurance rally.

Formula Sun Grand Prix

Teams test their solar-powered vehicles on a closed circuit, assessing the efficiency and performance of their designs under controlled conditions. They record the number of laps they complete around a racetrack in just three days. The race's purpose is to promote solar energy, sustainable transportation, and firsthand learning opportunities for students, encouraging them to apply their engineering skills to develop efficient and high-performance solar cars in a competitive environment.

American Solar Challenge

A challenge for collegiate teams to design, build, and race solar-powered vehicles across a 1,500–2,000 mile route. Participants, primarily university students, form multidisciplinary teams to create innovative solar cars, emphasizing aerodynamics and energy efficiency. The competition serves as a platform for hands-on experience, pushing the boundaries of solar technology and inspiring the next generation of engineers focused on sustainable transportation solutions.
