Nordlys
What we do
Nordlys NTNU is Norway`s first ever solar racing team. We are a student technical organisation at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, aiming, in the long term, to drive across Norway exclusively fueled by solar energy. We are currently in the development process, aiming to complete our first race; the Brigdestone World Solar Challenge in Australia summer of 2025. 47 students, through our six different groups; electrical, strategy, logistics, mechanical, brand and board, are working closely together to create the perfect environment for growth. Both as a team and as individuals.

The car will be running exclusively on solar energy. The highly technological solar panels inbeded in the chassis catches sunrays, coverts them to electrical energy, before it's fed directly into the electrical engine, using possibly gamechanging technology.
