SOLAR SPLASH 17 COMPETITION

Solar Splash 17 is an intercollegiate solar boat competition that tests team’s abilities to perform in a variety of demanding events. The endurance, slalom, and sprint on water events, challenge groups to develop a system that can withstand long durations of use but also has the ability to travel at high velocities and maneuver. To increase the difficulty there are strict limits on solar power and battery weight.
