Solar Team Eindhoven

About Solar Team Eindhoven

Solar Team Eindhoven is a team of 23 enthusiastic and driven students from three different educational institutions, representing twelve different fields of study and three nationalities. We strive for a sustainable future, where life is powered by the sun. As a student team, we have the power and freedom to be innovative. Not limited by market demands we can start the design process from scratch and free ourselves from preconceptions. This means that we, unlike the industry, can bridge the gap between technological innovation and our daily life. This allows us to innovate fast in a short time. By creating innovative, energy-efficient solar vehicles we inspire the current market and society to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future - in both mobility and energy.

This year the team is making Stella Juva, the world's first ambulance that is powered by solar energy. The solar ambulance is designed to make medical care accessible to people in the most remote areas. Here, poor roads and a lack of fuel or electricity limit access to healthcare.

Solar Team Eindhoven was founded in 2012. Every two years, the Eindhoven students build a car that runs entirely on solar power. In the past, the team was world champion four times in a row at the World Solar Challenge in Australia, in the class for family cars (Cruiser class). In 2021, the team made world headlines by building a solar-powered camper, Stella Vita, and travelling with it to the southernmost tip of Europe. In 2023, the team drove more than 1,000 kilometres from northern Morocco to the Sahara with the world's first off-road solar car, Stella Terra.
