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.
The Team
Comprised of more than 50 student members across an array of backgrounds and areas of study, our diverse team is committed to designing the next-generation of solar vehicle.
Our Car
After debuting our latest vehicle SC7s at the 2023 Formula Sun Grand Prix, we've put the pedal to the metal to complete our newest car, SC8 (also known as Bastet), for FSGP 2025.

The perpetuation of our team's hard work and legacy would not be possible without the collective support of our corporate sponsors and individual donations.
