The first decade is completed.

Started on behalf of the importance of implementation in engineering, 8th Generation Solaris Project continues with two-year plans.. Up to now, Solaris has been not just engineering implementations.. It is not just designing and manufacturing of nearly all parts of four solar vehicles but, what would be the next target has always been considered. 8th Generation Solaris Project will be a more difficult process, since the target of completing three successful races in one year is realized with Solaris 7. In 2013, in a very short time, that is nearly two months, Solaris 7 team completed three challenges on three different continents with three different vehicles. The motto of "We need to calculate, design and produce our own parts " that has been targeted in Solaris 1, needs to be go one step further after challenging in World Solar Challenge 2013 with a BLDC hub motor that was our own design and production. We have never targeted to get race results. We had numerous gains in the technical sense; however, in my opinion as the supervisor of the Solaris 7 project, the gains in social context were the greater ones. The solidarity and technical information sharing have been achieved not only within the team but also with our friend teams. It has been achieving ‘not me’, but ‘us’. In this context, 8th Generation Solaris Team will work harder with bigger goals with more unifying philosophy.
