Races

North American Solar Challenge(NASC) cars must be powered solely by sunshine. The racers use photovoltaic (solar) cells to convert sunlight into electricity to power the cars. Energy management and weather conditions play important roles in the race. In general, the sunnier the day, the faster and farther the cars can travel. Brighter days also allow the cars to recharge their batteries for cloudy or rainy days.

NASC sponsors include the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Natural Resources Canada, and the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The event is designed to inspire young people to pursue careers in science and engineering.
