Team Description
Our passion lies in applying the knowledge we learn in the classroom, to building a solar-electric car to push the boundaries of solar-powered transportation. We are currently one of the largest student design teams at 30-40 active core members and had over 500 new signups for the 2019-2020 school year. Beyond building a solar car, our underlying goal is to allow the University of Waterloo’s student body to expand their knowledge and skillset by working in a team environment to build unique vehicles. We have students in every engineering department, from systems design, mechatronics, computer and software utilizing their skills and knowledge to build this car.

We are designing a four-seater, solar-powered, electric vehicle for the American Solar Challenge (ASC), a 3000 km cross-continent solar car race. Last year with our car MS-XII, we were the first Canadian team to complete the ASC in the multi-occupant vehicle class. As part of our 31-year history, our team captured the 2004 World Record for the “Longest Journey by a Solar Powered Car."
