Illini Solar Car - Project D

Project Description

Illini Solar Car is a multidisciplinary engineering design RSO that designs, builds, tests, and races roadlegal solar electric vehicles in cross-country competitions. We compete against other similar teams in hopes of bettering the efficiency, endurance, and practicality of solar-powered vehicles. Our team is currently working on “Project D,” which is our fourth-generation solar-powered race car. We hope to construct a faster, more efficient car, which we will race in the 2026 American Solar Challenge and 2027 World Solar Challenge.
