CalSol - UC Berkeley Solar Vehicle Team

CalSol, the UC Berkeley Solar Vehicle Team, is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to design, build, test, and race fully solar powered vehicles. This is our 7th generation car, Impulse, which placed 4th in the 2012 American Solar Challenge.

What inspired you to make this project?:
We build solar cars to win races and just as importantly give our members real world experience working on a large-scale engineering project (designing and building the car from the ground up!). We also hope to get people excited about engineering and the environment through our project.
