The Stanford Solar Car Project (SSCP) is a student group at Stanford University that designs, builds, tests, and races solar-powered vehicles. The SSCP, a student-run, donation-funded organization, has been building and racing solar-powered vehicles since 1986. It has competed and placed at The World Solar Challenge, the Global Green Challenge ...

Junior Solar Sprint was created in the 1980s by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to teach younger children about the importance and challenges of using renewable energy. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The project also teaches students how the engineering process is applied, and how solar panels , transmission , and aerodynamics can be used in practice.
A solar car is a solar vehicle for use on public roads or race tracks. Solar vehicles are electric vehicles that use self-contained solar cells to provide full or partial power to the vehicle via sunlight. Solar vehicles typically contain a rechargeable battery to help regulate and store the energy from the solar cells and from regenerative ...
A solar vehicle or solar electric vehicle is an electric vehicle powered completely or significantly by direct solar energy. Usually, photovoltaic (PV) cells contained in solar panels convert the sun 's energy directly into electric energy. The term "solar vehicle" usually implies that solar energy is used to power all or part of a vehicle's ...
The Western Sydney Solar Team is the student-led, multidisciplinary solar racing team of Western Sydney University based in Penrith, in Sydney, Australia.The team was founded in 2012 and competes in the biennial World Solar Car Challenge (WSC) from Darwin, Northern Territory to Adelaide, South Australia over a distance of 3,022 km (1,878 mi) through the Australian Outback.
The Quiet Achiever, also known as the Holden Solar Trek, was the world's first practical long-distance solar-powered car powered entirely by photovoltaic solar cells. [ 1 ] The project was promoted by adventurer Hans Tholstrup , with the Australian-made car developed by Larry Perkins and his brother Garry; [ 2 ] and sponsored by BP .
