Solar Car Challenge

The Solar Car Challenge was established in 1993 to help motivate students in science and engineering, and to increase alternative energy awareness. The Challenge teaches high school students around the world how to build roadworthy solar cars. The Solar Education Program provides a safe environment for teams to display their solar cars. On alternating years, we share the fun of the world-famous Texas Motor Speedway or drive cross-country to share their projects with millions of people. The 2024 Solar Car Challenge, hosted by Oncor and Lockheed Martin, is a cross-country event from Fort Worth, Texas to Palmdale, California. Come share the fun... meet the kids and see their solar cars.

About Us

Solar Car started out as an idea between a group of friends in 2019. Overcoming many challenges, the team decided to officially launch in 2022 as a club under Vista Del Lago Highschool and began laying the foundation for our prototype solar car.

Our mission is to educate students and provide them with valuable hand-on engineering experiences by designing, building and racing full-size street legal solar powered vehicles.

Using only the power of the sun, our full sized, single passenger vehicle will embark on a journey that tests the our understanding of modern technology, ingenuity, and innovation.
