We would like to thank MSU for their continued support to the McMaster Solar Car
Team! 🏎⚡️
The McMaster Students Union (MSU), is the largest group on campus representing approximately 27,000 undergraduate students at McMaster University. All students enrolled in 18 (or more units) are members of the MSU.📚

Transparent luminescent solar concentrators (TLSCs) are a new type of solar panel technology that is completely transparent and can replace traditional windows. ☀️

TLSCs generate electricity by absorbing non-visible light wavelengths and converting them into visible light, which is then collected by photovoltaic cells at the edges of the panel.💡

This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about sustainable energy and building design.

The Solar Car (DAQ) module is the black box of the vehicle, researched and designed entirely by students. Connected to the car’s common CAN bus, it records the statuses of all critical modules, and allows the Team to debug and monitor the vehicle through its wireless transmission capabilities enabled by an ESP32 microcontroller.

Stay tuned for more updates about our solar car ‘The Origin’🏎⚡️
