Team Solaris is a community of academicians, young investors and researchers from undergraduate to Ph.D. level, who gathered around the idea of designing/creating a car powered by solar energy and who are motivated by FormulaG, solar car race organized by Bilim ve Teknik Periodical (also TUBITAK- Turkish Science and Technology Research Society) which will be held on August 30th 2005, just after the official opening of Formula 1 Circuit in Istanbul.

Team Solaris

 


Through this site, we aim to share the gained knowledge and experiences so any team can improve itself to make better designs of solar cars and to give current information to those who feel like witnessing these developments. Our visitors’ inspiration, opinions and ideas about the development of such applications powered by regenerative energy resources or any ideas from those who pioneered this technology would be greatly appreciated at any stage of the construction of this site.
