Working with composites, high-voltage equipment and epoxy may be dangerous. However, with your generous donation, we can safely work on our car without the risk of injury.

One Solar Cell (Encapsulated)

Harness the power of the sun! With your donation, we can cover the cost for an array of solar cells for our newest and best car, allowing us to travel that much further during the race!

$100

Chemicals (Epoxy, Resins)

With your generous donation, we would be able to pay for the epoxy and resin chemical agents that hold our car together.

$250

Carbon Fiber/Fiberglass Roll

To keep our car light yet durable, we rely on composites materials including carbon fiber and fiberglass. With your generous donation, we would be able to offset the cost of such vital materials.

$500

Tires for the Car

Like any vehicle, the solar car needs tires to run off on. With your donation, we would be able to purchase a new set of tires, allowing us to partake in many more trial runs, and competitions.

$1,000

Autoclave Rental

To cure the carbon fiber for our next car's monocoque design, we need to rent out a space to ensure the entire car is evenly treated. Fortunately, your donation would allow us to complete this vital step in our manufacturing process.

$5,000

Pay for the 2022 Race!

Help us participate in our next race. With your generous donation, we hope to race our newest car in the next Formula Sun Grand Prix!
