SolarMobil Manipal is a team of students from various branches of Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal. The team’s aim is to successfully design, test and build a vehicle powered solely by solar energy,and to race it's car across challenging terrains in international races. The team plans to approach this project with drive, innovation and efficiency as the cornerstones, around which it hopes to build a wealth of experience and knowledge.
The formation of SolarMobil.manipal was initiated in August 2011 and since then, the team has involved themselves in research in the field of "new age" solar arrays, high output "Eco-friendly" batteries and the latest super-efficiency motors . The team consists of students from different fields of technicality – Mechanical, Electrical, Aeronautical, Automobile and Mechatronics all combining their skills , knowledge and experience to make a car we can truly be proud of.
By successfully participating in this global event, our college competes with global engineering institutes of Europe and America, creating a conducive atmosphere for future exchange of technologies, research and development work.
Unlike other specialized racing teams, this team is looking at the larger picture of more environmentally dynamic issues like alternate fuels, harvesting renewable sources and alternate cars which have a huge scope both industrially and commercially.
