Here it is… UCI’s first ever Solar Car, Soleater.
This past week marked just the beginning of what’s to come for UCI Solar Car. Every team member gave their all to bring this first car to life, and we’re beyond grateful to our teammates, advisors, sponsors, and supporters who made this journey possible.
We walked into competition with hope and came out with a Capacitance Award (for showing greatest electrical adaptability + insightful questions to the scrutineers), more experience than the last two years combined, connections beyond our campus grounds (shoutout @pacific.solarcar & @solarvehicleteamuw ), and a scrutineering sheet that proved the strength and success of our build.
Although we didn’t get on the track due to timing, proud doesn’t even begin to cover how we feel. This is only the start. Watch out, UCI’s coming for FSGP & ASC.
Thank you endlessly.

ADR 2025-26! 👩🎨👨💻
We had the pleasure of meeting with faculty, advisors, friends, and fellow project teams to showcase our competition vehicle and see the work others have been doing as well.
It was great sharing our progress and highlighting all that we’ve done over the last quarters, along with testing data from our recent runs.
