NUsolar is student-led organization designing, manufacturing and racing the next generation of solar powered electric vehicles. Founded in 1997 by a small team of students and faculty at Northwestern University, NUsolar has since expanded, building 7 custom vehicles and participating in over 10 solar car competitions. Our mission is to enhance the educational experiences of our student members as well as promote the development of sustainable technologies on campus and within the Chicagoland area.
